Dear Rietvelders,

I have done some quantitative phase analyses using Rietveld on
portland cement clinkers, which I have compared to microscope point
counting. I am very keen to compare the accuracy of my method to
other published work. I have done thorough literature searches for
years on this topic, but am only really aware of JC Taylor's work and
from Krupp Polesius in Germany. Is anybody aware of any other work. I
would be very much obliged.
There is quite a body of literature pertaining to using Rietvled
and distinguishing the various polymorphs of the phases...I have
copies of these papers, but I am particularly interested in
QUANTITATIVE phase results on cements (and/or clinkers).
Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions.

Sincerely,
Quirina
