Determination of kaolinite and halloysite crystallite size with X-Ray diffraction: implications for industrial applications

Crystallite Size Measurement Using X- Ray Diffraction

Mike Meier University of California, Davis September 13, 2004 Figure 1. FEG-SEM image of nanosized aluminum oxide powder. Note the magnification and the size of the micron bar. Also note how the smaller particles and the edges of the larger particles appear to be somewhat transparent. This is because much of the 5 kV electron beam can pass through these thinner parts of the particles. CRYSTALLI...

EVALUATION OFDISLOCATION STRUCTURE AND CRYSTALLITE SIZE IN WORN AL-SI ALLOY BY X-RAY DIFFRACTION

Abstract: powerful method for the characterization of microstructures of crystalline materials in terms of crystallite size anddislocation structures. In this paper the effect of the sliding on the microstructure of A356 in the as-cast and heattreated conditions are studied, The X-ray phase analysis shows that with increasing applied load, the dislocationdensity is increased, whereas the crysta...

Introducing an Optimized Method for Obtaining X-ray Diffraction Patterns of Biological Tissues

Introduction Individual X-Ray diffraction patterns of biological tissues are obtained via interference of coherent scattering with their electrons. Many scientists have distinguished normal and cancerous breast tissue, bone density, and urinary stone types using the X-Ray diffraction patterns resulting from coherent scattering. The goal of this study was to introduce an optimized method for obt...

Determination of Crystallite Size with the XRay Spectrometer

The Synthesis of Zeolites A, X and HS from Natural Iranian Kaolinite and the Study of the Transformation of Zeolites X to HS and Zeolites Y to P by X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy.

Zeolites A, X and HS were synthesized from natural Iranian Kaolinite by alkaline fusion,,followed by refluxing the mixture. The transformation of zeolites X to HS and Y to P were studied at different time intervals by X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It was revealed that in solution, zeolites HS and P are more stable than zeolites X and Y respectively
