Design and characterization of a mapping device optimized to collect XRD patterns from highly inhomogeneous and low density powder samples
We report on the development of a device designed to improve X-ray Powder Diffraction data acquisition through mapping coupled to a rotational motion of the sample. The device and procedures developed aim at overcoming the experimental issues that accompany the analysis of inhomogeneous samples, suc...

We report on the development of a device designed to improve X-ray Powder Diffraction data acquisition through mapping coupled to a rotational motion of the sample. The device and procedures developed aim at overcoming the experimental issues that accompany the analysis of inhomogeneous samples, such as powders, dust or aerosols deposited on a flat substrate. Introducing the mapping of the substrate on which powders are deposited and at the same time the rotation, we may overcome drawbacks associated to inhomogeneous distributions such as ring-like patterns due to the coffee stain effect generated by the evaporation of a solution. Experimental data have been collected from powders of a NIST standard soil sample (11 μg) and from an airborne dust extracted from deep ice cores in Antarctica (9.6 μg). Both particulate samples have been deposited on polycarbonate membranes from ultra-dilute solutions. Data show that this approach makes possible to collect XRD patterns useful to identify mineral fractions present in these low density samples. |
