    Deconvolutional treatment about sample transparency aberration interfered by opaque and translucent sample holders in Bragg–Brentano geometry

    Takashi Ida
    105-113页
    查看更多>>摘要:Sample transparency aberration in Bragg–Brentano geometry affected by interference with opaque and translucent sample holders has been formulated. The formulation for an opaque sample holder should be classified to 5 cases, depending on the apparent diffraction angle, beam width, specimen width, and specimen thickness. The cumulants of the aberration function for a translucent sample holder with an arbitrary linear attenuation coefficient can numerically be evaluated by a Gauss–Legendre quadrature. The use of a function defined by the convolution of truncated exponential and rectangular functions has been tested as the model for the aberration function. A double deconvolutional treatment (DCT) designed to cancel the effects of the first and third order cumulants of the aberration function has been applied to the XRD data of Si standard powder, NIST SRM640d. The diffraction peak profile in the data treated by the DCT method certainly shows improved symmetry. The main features of the symmetrized peak profile in the DCT data have been simulated by instrumental and specimen parameters. It is suggested that the current analytical method could be utilized for texture analysis, if themanufacturer of an XRD instrument should supply amore accurate information about the instrument.

    The secrets of the sand – Mineralogy of coastal sands and dunes in Marshfield, MA, USA and comparisons to other beach sands

    查看更多>>摘要:Using a variety of analytical tools, the mineralogy of the sands and dunes at several public beaches along the coastline near Marshfield,Massachusetts was examined. X-ray powder diffraction analyses combining Rietveld methods, orientation analyses, and clustering techniques were primarily used for mineral identification. The results of the analyses point to the underlying geology, a history of glaciation, and erosion of the underlying bedrock and rocks. The sands could be termed “continental” sands since they reflect the composition of the underlying bedrock. The averaged bulk (>1%)mineral composition of the Marshfield beaches and coastal dunes is very similar and similar to other reportedmineralogical analyses of Massachusetts andmany New England beaches. Quartz and the alkali feldspars, microcline, and albite, comprise ~90% of dune and beach samples. These are usually followed by muscovite and clinochlore, and varieties of amphibole. Higher albite concentrations and a few characteristic minor phases (i.e., epidote) differentiate this sand from others in the region. When analyzing rocks and rock berms present on all beaches, the mineralogy is much more complex and reflects historic glacial till coverage and glacial retreat, combined with modern erosion and storm impact.

    查看更多>>摘要:The room-temperature X-ray powder diffraction data for bosentan monohydrate, an API used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, is presented. Bosentan monohydrate is monoclinic, P21/c (No. 14), with unit cell parameters a = 12.4520(7) A, b = 15.110(1) A, c = 15.0849 (9) A, β = 95.119(5)°, V = 2827.0(3) A~3, Z = 4. All the diffractionmaxima recorded were indexed and are consistent with the P21/c space group. The crystal structure of this material corresponds to the phase associated with Cambridge Structural Database entry NEQHEY, which was determined at 123 K. The successful Rietveld refinement, carried out with TOPAS-Academic, showed the singlephase nature of the material and the good quality of the data. A comprehensive analysis of intra- and intermolecular interactions corroborates that the structure is dominated by extensive hydrogen bonding, accompanied by C H…π and π…π interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots indicate that the most important interactions are H…H and O…H/H…O in bosentan and the water molecule and C…H/H…C interactions in bosentan.
