You should multiply all of the crystalline phases by 5/7 with the remaining 2/7 being your amorphous phases.

Subject: internal standard for glass

Dear all
I'm doing quantitative analysis on a mixture of  6 or 7 phases and I must to know the weight fraction of amorphous phases.
I'm using Si as internal standard but I'didn't understand if I must consider the relative or absolute difference between the real and calculeted quantity.
For example: if I put in the mixture 5% of Si and GSAS read 7% the relative error is 40%, Is this the quantity that I must subtract from each phase and sum to obtain the amorphous, or the process is different?
thanks in advance.
