Extract

The advent of computer automation and profile fitting techniques in powder diffraction., along with a general solution to the problem of preferred orientation, has opened a series of new horizons for this method. The new levels of accuracy attainable have brought us to the threshold of routine reliable qualitative phase identification, high precision quantitative analysis and the ability to perform crystal structure analysis on some of the most important technological materials. It has been primarily the question of accuracy which has held up these developments until now.
