I am using Siroquant software for quantitative analysis of rocks containing clay minerals. I am having trouble with montmorillonite. When I try to refine preferred orientation, the simulated pattern fits perfecty well, but, the preferred orientation value rise to almost 2 (as the phase dependent box shows) what it seems odd. I have not found how to get a reasonable value (< = 1) and a good simulated pattern. If I do not refine preferred orientation, the peak at about 4.48 A does not fit well . Could anyone help me?
