Determination of calcium sulfate dihydrate in atmospheric particulate by X-ray powder diffractometry

X-ray diffractometry for the structure determination of a submicrometre single powder grain

A high-precision diffractometer has been developed for the structure analysis of a submicrometre-scale single grain of a powder sample at the SPring-8 BL40XU undulator beamline. The key design concept is the combination of a stable focused synchrotron radiation beam and the precise axis control of the diffractometer, which allows accurate diffraction intensity data of a submicrometre-scale sing...

Parallel Beam Powder Diffractometry Using a Laboratory X-Ray Source

We report on the application of a new, non-dispersive double multilayer optical arrangement to prepare a parallel beam from a laboratory x-ray source for standardization of powder diffraction reference materials and the associated high accuracy diffractometer. The beam preparation optic uses a graded-spacing parabolic multilayer to gather radiation from a small focus x-ray source and a subseque...

Characterization and quantitation of clarithromycin polymorphs by powder X-ray diffractometry and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Characterization of clarithromycin polymorph was performed by solid-state cross polarization and magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Two polymorphs, form II and form I, of clarithromycins indicated characteristic resonances of C1 carbonyl carbon at 176.2 and 175.2 ppm, respectively. Since each peak of C1 carbon was well separated in the spectrum of the two polymorphs, we perform...

Determination of the Ca/P ratio in calcium phosphates during the precipitation of hydroxyapatite using X-ray diffractometry

The applicability of the X-ray powder diffraction method to the determination of phase composition and Ca/P ratio in precipitates during the nitrous wet synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HA) has been shown. The plotted dependences of the phase composition and the Ca/P ratio on the synthesis time can be used as initial data for the development of new and simple processing routes of calcium phosphate ...
