My university does not have access to any database for finding the position of peaks which I can use to identify my samples.
How can I identify the peaks?
I have below previews of my spectra for biochar, KOH activated carbon and KOH activated carbon ball milled with TiH2.
I understand that the first two are amorphous (although I do not know why the KOH activated carbon shows is of such lower intensity) but I do not know the origin of the peaks for the titanium hydride doped sample.
Equally, I would appreciate if anyone would be willing to send me the card for TiH2
To identify the x-rd peaks first you need according to Bragg reflection find the d-spacing for all the diffracte peaks. The next step is to suggest the crystal structure then according to that the related equatation will be used. To complete the process you should suggest the (hkl) planes for each peak to use it in the calculaulation that depened on the structure type for cubic the relation is simple but more complicated for other structures. You can get more information in Google search but I suggest a special text book introduce you the details for these calculatios
Thank you for your response and for the book recommendation. I have already calculated my d spacing for the diffracted peaks, however I do not expect there to be a crystal structure in these samples and so I am not sure how I could apply your suggestion to this case.
I only wish what components are on my samples, not what the structure is- is this possible without a database?
If you have a computer, I recommend two software for you. One is MDI Jade, and another is High score. With the help of these two professional sofware , you can easily know your XRD information. If you could not get them, the test instrument can usually analysis the XRD pattern, you can consult the administrator of the instrument.
