An examination was made on the accuracy of the quantitative analysis by an X -ray diffractometer for the binary system of known composition, the relation between diffracted intensity and concentration was determined. The results are summarized as follows:
(1) In the scope of present experiments, the maximum height of the diffracted line obtained by a slow scanning speed can be used for analysis with the same degree of accuracy as that of the integrated intensity.
(2) Using the intensity ratio of (104) in Fe
2O
3 and (107) in BaFe
12O
19, the maximum standard deviation of 0.37% can be expected for the analytical value in the range less than 10% Fe
2O
3 and 0.7% in the range of 60∼100% Fe
2O
3, respectively.
(3) To reduce the error due to the variation of the intensity ratio in the same component, two lines for each phase, i.e., (104), (110) in Fe
2O
3 and (107), (114) in BaFe
12O
19, are used for analysis. But it shows an accuracy similar to the results obtained in (2).
(4) The amount of Fe
2O
3 in various samples of BaFe
12O
19 prepared by the precipitation method is determined from the obtained calibration curve by means of X-ray diffraction. Compared with the changes in their magnetic properties, the results may be regarded as appropriate.
