I am analysing a XRD Pattern and expect to find magnetic minerals like Magnetite, Hematite or some else. The automatic suggestions of the Program don't give me these minerals, but I want to insert the peaks out of the database that are not suggested/fiting into the pattern anyway to compare.
If this is possible, could you discribe how to do so, I didn't find the way on my own.
Thank you very much.
Hi Sascha
First of all you should find the PDF card number of the phases that you want to compare.
So you can open a new file in XPert and follow these steps:
go to Reference patterns tab - Go to retrieve pattern by ... - restrictions- Chemistry tab, choose Fe and O, search in composition and find the composition that you want. write the PDF number of these cards.
Now you open your XRD pattern and follow this steps:
go to Reference Patterns- Retrieve patterns by ... - Reference Code-
Type the reference code of Hematite and Magnetite that you find later.
It can solve your problem.
Hi Sascha,
I am going to send you a good Introduction to PANalytical X’Pert HighScore Plus v3.0. I found it very useful. Hope it could help,
Cheers,
Francesco
