Dear François,

I've to admit that I am no expert on the quantitative phase analysis. If the analysis suggest 40% amorphous compound, I'd expect that should be clearly visible in the diffraction pattern as a fairly strong, broad maximum with a FWHM of some 7 to 10° (CuKalpha). If you do not see that, then the quantitative analysis is certainly misleading.

Dear Rietveld users,

I have some industrial compound presenting a strong hyper-Lorentzian peak shape (eta=1.1 with HighScore). When we calculate the amorphous content after an internal standard addition, the result is 40%. The micro-absorption effect has been minimized (mu of the internal standard is closed to the compound).

But with some electronic transmission analysis no amorphous is observed.

The question is : Does a strong hyper-Lorentzian peak shape could influence quantitative analysis ?

François
