Conventional SAD patterns as obtained in the TEM present difficulties for identification of materials such as asbestiform minerals, although diffraction data is considered to be an important method for making this purpose. The preferred orientation of the fibers and the spotty patterns that are obtained do not readily lend themselves to measurement of the integrated intensity values for each d-spacing, and even the d-spacings may be hard to determine precisely because the true center location for the broken rings requires estimation. We have implemented an automatic method for diffraction pattern measurement to overcome these problems. It automatically locates the center of patterns with high precision, measures the radius of each ring of spots in the pattern, and integrates the density of spots in that ring. The resulting spectrum of intensity vs. radius is then used just as a conventional X-ray diffractometer scan would be, to locate peaks and produce a list of d,I values suitable for search/match comparison to known or expected phases.

Conventional selected area diffraction patterns as obtained in the TEM present difficulties for identification of materials such as asbestifonn minerals, although diffraction data is considered to be one of the preferred methods for making this identification. The preferred orientation of the fibers in each field of measurement, and the spotty patterns that are obtained, do not readily lend themselves to measurement of the integrated intensity values for each dspacing, and even the d-spacings may be hard to determine precisely because the true center location for the broken rings requires estimation. To overcome these problems, we have implemented an automatic method for diffraction pattern measurement. It automatically locates the center of patterns with high precision, measures the radius of each ring of spots in the pattern, and integrates the density of spots in that ring.

X-ray powder diffraction pattern for InN synthesized using a microwave plasma source of nitrogen is reported. The data were obtained with the help of an automated Bragg-Brentano diffractometer using Ni-filtered CuKα radiation. The lattice parameters for the wurtzite-type unit cell are ao=3.5378(1) Å, co=5.7033(1) Å. The calculated density is 6.921±0.002 g/cm3.

The X-ray powder diffraction data of polycrystalline fibrillar zinc trimolybdates ZnMo3O10·3.75H2O, ZnMo3O10·5H2O, and ZnMo3O10·10H2O, are reported. An uncommon diffraction pattern was recorded in the case of the “wet fibers” of ZnMo3O10·10H2O, which could be indexed assuming a model of parallel fibers with translation disorder along the fiber axis. The powder diffraction patterns, lattice parameters, space groups, and other data describing these compounds are presented in this paper.© 1999 International Centre for Diffraction Data.

A monoclinic phase isostructural to Al4W was revealed in Al–Ni–Re close to the Al–Re terminal. It is assumed to be a ternary extension of the high-temperature Al4Re phase usually transforming in binary alloys even by sharp quenching from the existence temperatures. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of this phase of the Al77Ni2.5Re20.5 composition was indexed for the Cm space group with a=5.1538(12) Å, b=17.410(5) Å, c=5.1546(15) Å, and β=100.548(16)°.

1-N-(4-pyridylmethyl)amino naphtalene was synthesized by means of a reaction of alpha-naphthylamine, 4-pyridylcarboxyaldehyde, in anhydrous ethanol to obtainN-(4-pyridylen)-alpha-naphthylamine and that was reduced with NaBH4 to produce the wanted compound. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern for the new compound 1-N-(4-pyrydylmethyl)amino naphtalene was obtained. This compound crystallizes in a monoclinic system with refined unit cell parameters a=10.375(5) Å, b=17.665(6) Å, c=5.566(2) Å, β=100.11(3), and V=1004.3(5) Å3, with space group P2/m (No. 10).
