1 Lesson 8 Publishing XRD Results Nicola Döbelin( s humble opinions ) RMS Foundation, Bettlach, Switzerland totally irrelevant to the rest of the world March 1 2, 216, Freiberg, Germany

2 Relevant Topics - Quality of Rietveld refinement results - Graphs - «Experimental» section 2 March 1 2, 216, Freiberg, Germany

3 Quality: Accurate + Precise 3 March 1 2, 216, Freiberg, Germany

4 Quality of Rietveld Refined Data XRD / Rietveld refinements are very difficult to validate: - Often no complementary analytical technique available - Hardly any reference materials available - Refinement: Highly operator dependent One option: Participate in round robins Compare your results with other labs Round robin on CaP phase quantification organized by RMS Foundation / Nicola Döbelin in 212/213 4 March 1 2, 216, Freiberg, Germany

5 Quantity [%] Accuracy of Rietveld Refined Data Round Robin Reference Sample: - Simple 2 phase system: HA + β-tcp - Very homogeneous distribution - No texture Volume Number - No micro-absorption - Highly crystalline Particle Diameter [µm] - Mean cryst size ~2 nm Nearly «Best Case» Scenario 5 March 1 2, 216, Freiberg, Germany

6 Accuracy of Rietveld Refined Data Round Robin 12 Labs with 26 different instruments / configurations analyzed the same powder n=5 Results returned from one lab/instrument: Sample β-tcp [wt-%] HA [wt-%] Mean (Std. Dev) (.17) (.17) 6 March 1 2, 216, Freiberg, Germany
