AbstractThe main reason for the initial determinations of illite crystallinity (IC) was to support the exploration for liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. The application in 1960 of the Weaver Sharpness Ratio to core materials of a borehole from eastern France indicated that it was not a reliable tool for identifying well-crystallized illite. This ratio was later replaced by the Full Width at Half-Maximum (FWHM), the value of which decreases regularly and consistently towards greenschist facies. The use of FWHM allowed a precise definition of the anchimetamorphic zone between the upper diagenesis and the epimetamorphism. Afterwards, analysis of weak-tointermediate diagenetic sequences showed that illite crystallinity decreases together with the amount of swelling interlayers in mixed-layer clay minerals. Technological improvements, such as computing and modelling of X-ray diffraction patterns, increased the analytical precision relative to measurements of the plain FWHM. Consequently, illite crystallinity went back to its initial use, namely detection of the transitions between diagenesis, anchi- and epi-metamorphism in smectitefree lithologies, where it can be used as a stratigraphic and mineralogic marker of alteration stages.

We studied effects of sputtering pressure on growth of (ZnO)x(InN)1-xcrystal films deposited at 450°C by rf magnetron sputtering. Epitaxial growth of (ZnO)x(InN)1-xfilms was realized on single-crystalline ZnO template. X-ray diffraction measurements show that full width at half maximum of the rocking curves from the (101) plane of the films reaches minimum value of 0.11º at 0.5 Pa. The sputtering gas pressure is a key tuning knob for controlling the crystal quality of ZION films.

The effects of the thermally annealing of Bi-Mn-Co-Sb2O3-added ZnO varistors on their electrical degradation were investigated. For the samples with 0.01mol% Sb2O3added and without Sb2O3, no marked difference in the non linearity index of the voltage-current (V-I) characteristics was observed upon electrical degradation for the annealed and nonannealed samples. Upon increasing the amount of Sb2O3 added, the values of  increased after electrical degradation for the annealed samples. Moreover, the value of  after electrical degradation was proportional to the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the X-ray diffraction peak for Zn2.33Sb0.67O4-type spinel particles under various annealing conditions. The added Sb2O3 did not dissolve in the ZnO grains but became segregated at grain boundaries. Therefore, it is speculated that the increase in the FWHM for the spinel particles is due to the increase in the numbers of fine spinel particles at grain boundaries and triple points.

A general formalism, based on the Takagi–Taupin equations, for calculating rocking curves in perfect t\times l crystals is presented. It includes nonsymmetrical scattering, refraction, and ordinary and anomalous absorption. t and l may be varied independently. In the limit of a semi-infinite crystal, the standard results from the fundamental theory are retrieved. For crystal dimensions less than the extinction length, the theory converges to the kinematical limit. Simulations for germanium and silicon show significant influence of crystal finiteness. When dynamical effects are prominent, the curves exhibit various degrees of asymmetry and the full width at half-maximum is generally larger than the corresponding Darwin width. This is attributed to combined Laue and Bragg contributions which are shifted with respect to each other owing to refraction.

AbstractThin LINbO3 films are deposited on (001) sapphire and (001) LiTaO3 substrates by using pulsed excimer-laser ablation. These films are evaluated by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) analysis. Strained LiNbO3 films in which the a-axis is longer and the c-axis is shorter than those of LiNbO3 single crystals are deposited on the sapphire substrates. On the other hand, extremely high-quality LiNbO3 films in which the a-axis of the films is the same as that of substrates are grown on the LiTaO substrates. X-ray rocking curves for the (006) reflection showed very narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 208 arcsec for the films on the sapphire substrates, and 9 arcsec for the films on LiTaO3 substrates.

The outcome of the analysis of data from a Round Robin on a KCl sample is reported. The research project has led to a definition of a working protocol for the treatment of X-ray diffraction data from powders (XRPD). The protocol is based on the method of “Diffraction Instrumental Monitoring” (DIM), whose main characteristics are briefly illustrated. When experimental data are referred to the expected standard values of the lattice parameter, the method enables comparison with data obtained from differing instrumentation found in different laboratories. Application of DIM to the KCl Round Robin demonstrates the ability of DIM to effectively evaluate systematic contribution. Accuracy on the cell parameter is obtained as a direct consequence; in this application, where the knowledge of the KCl d-spacing was not a problem, the accuracy of lattice parameter is a feedback for constraining the evaluation of the effective values of the experiment-related parameters.
