On the X-Ray Absorption Correction for Encased Diffracters in the Debye-Scherrer Technique

Abstract
In dealing with numerical values for relative intensities derived from the Debye-Scherrer technique, the alteration of diffracted intensities produced by absorption in the sample cannot be ignored. Claassen has shown how this effect can be allowed for in the case of homogeneous cylindrical samples. This paper deals with a sample consisting of a cylinder surrounded by another annular cylinder both when the core is inert (i.e., absorbing and producing only extraneous scattering) and when the annulus is inert. The method is applied to show how the diffraction pattern for a liquid enclosed in a glass container may be corrected for the diffuse diffraction of the container as well as for absorption in the liquid and in the glass.
