The phases developed upon annealing of ZnSe, CdSe, and CdS semiconductors in air are investigated applying X-ray qualitative and quantitative phase analysis. The compositions of the thermally grown oxides over the 373–773 K temperature range are found to be ZnO and ZnSeO3 for ZnSe, CdSeO3 for CdSe and CdSO4 and Cd3O2SO4 for CdS. The percentage phase abundance of each phase is determined at each temperature applying a standardless method. At all temperatures, the oxides are predominantly ZnO with about 10% ZnSeO3 at 773 K in case of ZnSe and CdSO4 with about 9% Cd3O2SO4 at 773 K in case of CdS. The rate of oxidation with temperature is found to be nonlinear for the three chalcogenides. CdS is found to be more resistible for oxidation than CdSe and ZnSe.

Quantitative Phase

X-ray powder diffraction is an ideal technique for the quantitative analysis of a multiphase sample. The intensities of diffraction lines of a phase in a multiphase sample are proportional to the phase fraction and the quantitative analysis can be obtained if the correction for the absorption of X-rays in the sample is performed. Simple procedures of quantitative X-ray diffraction phase analysis of a multiphase sample are presented. The matrix-flushing method, with the application of reference intensities, yields the relationship between the intensity and phase fraction free from the absorption effect, thus, shunting calibration curves or internal standard procedures. Special attention is paid to the doping methods: (i) simultaneous determination of the fractions of several phases using a single doping and (ii) determination of the fraction of the dominant phase. The conditions to minimize systematic errors are discussed. The problem of overlapping of diffraction lines can be overcome by combining the doping method (i) and the individual profile fitting method, thus performing the quantitative phase analysis without the reference to structural models of particular phases. Recent suggestions in quantitative phase analysis are quoted, e.g., in study of the decomposition of supersaturated solid solutions—intermetallic alloys. Round Robin on Quantitative Phase Analysis, organized by the IUCr Commission on Powder Diffraction, is discussed shortly. The doping methods have been applied in various studies, e.g., phase transitions in titanium dioxide, biomineralization processes, and phases in intermetallic oxide systems and intermetallic alloys.

For cement-matrix materials, the microstructure plays a vital important role in the research. Recently, quantitative phase analysis of cementitious materials can be performed using the Rietveld method by fitting the calculated X-ray diffraction (XRD) profile with the observed one. The aim of this paper is to further perform the quantitative analysis by the Rietveld method and discuss the influence of testing factors on the Rietveld quantitative phase analysis. The factors included the collection range of pattern, step size and the scan time of per step. In this study, the chemical composition of the samples was determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry. And their phase composition was calculated by X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld analysis. The results showed that the collection range of pattern depended on the tested materials , and the scanning range should include the main diffraction peak of the sample. Smaller step size and longer scan time of each step made the fitting factor smaller, also the calculated pattern coincided with the measured pattern, better enhance the precision of the analyses.

Qualitative Phase

The quantitative phase analyses of a slag have been successfully carried out by using both of the full-profile Rietveld and RIR methods from X-ray powder diffraction data. The qualitative phase analysis indicates that the slag contains mayenite (CaO)12(Al2O3)7, olivine Ca2(SiO4), gehlenite Ca2Al (AlSiO7), lemite Ca2(SiO4) and hibonite CaO(Al2O3)6. The quantitative analysis from Rietveld refinement shows that the weight concentrations of mayenite, olivine, gehlenite, lemite and hibonite for the slag are 48.8(4) wt.%, 32.2(5) wt.%, 11.0(9) wt.%, 6.2(1.1) wt.% and 1.8 (1.2) wt.%, respectively. The quantitative phase analysis results obtained by Rietveld method are more precise then those by RIR method.

AbstractIn view of present difficulties encountered in met alio graphic methods of phase analysis of titanium and its alloys, the possibility of utilizing integrated X-ray intensities for phase analysis was investigated. Power Formula variables were calculated for titanium, and relative areas of three alpha and one beta peak were determined. Recorded X-ray intensities were obtained from a large number of titanium specimens. The recorded intensities were analyzed and the results compared with those from metallographic analysis. The errors in the method arising from the nature of titanium, texture and peak overlapping, were studied and where possible, compensated for by adjusting the method of measurement and calculation.

End Members

Solid solutions are pervasive in minerals and in industrial inorganic materials. The analyst is often called upon to provide qualitative and quantitative X-ray phase analysis for specimens containing solid solutions when all that is available are Powder Diffraction File (PDF) data or commercial standards for the end members. In an earlier paper (1) we presented several examples of substantial errors in accuracy of quantitative analysis that can arise when the crystallinity and composition of the analyte standard do not match those of the analyte in the sample of interest. We recommended that to obtain more accurate quantitative analyses, one should determine the analyte composition (e.g., from XRF on grains seen in a SEM or from comparison of cell parameters with those of the end members) and synthesize an analyte standard with this composition and with a crystallinity approximating that of the analyte (e.g., as determined from peak breadth or α1/ α2 splitting).

Pure Phases

A method for quantitative phase analysis without standards (QPAWS) has been published in 1977 and has gained considerable interest, as the calibration for quantitative XRD may sometimes be difficult. Standards for quantitatative XRD are not generally available, and in many cases even the pure phases cannot be obtained.The QPAWS method is based on (i) analysis of all phases present in the samples, (ii) foreknowledge of mass absorption coefficients (MAC)(iii) measuring samples which contain all phases in varying concentrations. In this method the number of samples used is equal to the number of phases to be analysed.
