TY - JOUR AU - Reynolds, R. AB - A closed-form equation was derived that describes the powder-ring distribution factor as a function of 2θ, soller slit collimation, and σ*, which is defined as the standard deviation of an axially symmetrical Gaussian orientation function. Methods were developed for measuring σ* in the reflection mode by means of a θ/2θ diffractometer. Six experimental arrangements for a sedimentary chlorite showed widely different intensity ratios of the 001/005 reflections and gave a standard deviation of ±5.8% when corrected by the theory. The absolute integrated intensities of the 003 reflection from eleven illite samples provided an eight-fold maximum range which, when corrected, yielded a standard deviation of ±7.7%.
