AI Thread Summary
To identify fluorapatite in XRD analysis, compare the observed peaks in the diffraction pattern to standard patterns for fluorapatite. The relationship between 2θ angles and energy can be referenced in scientific literature, which provides expected peak positions for various minerals. It's essential to have a standard diffraction pattern for accurate identification. If the sample shows peaks matching those of fluorapatite, it can be confirmed as present. Utilizing these methods will enhance the accuracy of the analysis.

I have a sample that was analyzed with x-ray diffraction, the graph had several peaks at different 2θ degrees, how to know if this sample has fluorapatite? I need the answer ASAP please..

You can look up the relation between angle and energy in the literature, and you can also look up the expected energies from different elements.

thanks for responding,,, I'll give it a try
 
If you're looking for apatite, then why don't you have a standard diffraction pattern to compare it to?
