A new FESEM procedure for assessment of XRD microstructural data of kaolinites
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A sample preparation method for FESEM microstructural analysis of sheet silicates using oriented aggregates on metallic strips parallel to the electronic beam is described. The method allows the easy measurement of thickness of kaolinite crystallites. The results have been compared to the apparent crystallite size measured by XRD The performed measurements for a set of selected kaolinites are in the range 15–60 nm and show a good correlation with XRD crystallite thickness (in the range 11–48 nm) obtained by the Voigt function method.
