Papers on Microabsorption

Via Rietveld Mailing List
Thu, 07 May 1998

From: "Linda D. Mansker" 

None of the Rietveld packages deal well enough with X-ray absorption
contrast, at least for my samples - I'm currently working diligently on the
problem as we 'speak', as my samples are not supposed to be undergoing
absorption effects, due to the particle sizes and morphologies, according
to the information available.  I use both DBWS and GSAS.  I have DBWS
version 9411, and can send the original distribution along to you, if you
don't have it.

I can recommend several papers which allow one to correct for absorption
contrast by hand: 

	1.	Journal of applied crystallography, volume 24, pp 14-17.
		Authors J.C. Taylor and C.E. Matulis
	2.	Physica (Utrecht), vol. 13, pp 62-78.  Author P.M. de Wolff
	3.	Philosophy Magazine; vol. 35, pg. 215 and pg. 404.  Author A. 
		Taylor
	4.	Philosophy Magazine; vol. 36, pp.347-69.  Author: G.W. Brindley 
		(original theory)
	5.	A text: A. Taylor: "X-ray Metallography", p. 259.  Publisher: Wiley
		New York, 1961.

I hope to have one out on the subject by end of June, also.  I can keep you
informed on my progress.

Hope that helps!

Regards, 

Linda
