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..
Powder X-ray diffraction pattern labelled a), plotting intensity in counts on the vertical axis against 2θ (Cu) from about 5 to 65 degrees, with a sharp dominant peak near 32 degrees and several smaller peaks across the range.

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?
