XRD Analysis

40 kV - 30 mA, 6.5-9.5 keV File: stron272.out, -.mdi References: JCPDS #5-418 Found: Strontianite solid solution Comment: Very intense pattern of well-crystallized phase. The JCPDS pattern is of synthetic SrCO3. All reflections of HS272 lie at higher 2 theta values (smaller interplanar spacings) than the endmember reference pattern, indicating substitution of a cation (such as Ca) that has a smaller ionic radius than strontium.
