mass divided by volume, as usual. Since you can use any volume or mass you can use the unit cell volume and count the mass of all atoms withing the unit cell. Any cystallographic program (like PowderCell) is doing this for normalization of the XRD intensity. But maybe you mean something else?

Is changing the medium during the experiment overestimate the results?

I am experimenting with cancer and non-cancer cells in a 12-well plate for 4 days with a seeding density 1*10^4/well, however, I noticed that the control group growth rate slows down on D3. Should...

Should I include H atom into C3N5 when i am doing DFT modelling?

Hi all, my experimental XPS results shown that my C3N5 sample consists of N-H bond, hence in this case I should incorporate the N-H bond into my DFT modelling. However, I do notice several papers...

How to understand this crystallographic phenomenon of low temperature crystals in zeolite?

During low-temperature testing, new diffraction peaks that appear could be indicative of several phenomena. In one of our tests, we observed notable new peaks around 40° and 45° in a specific...
