X-ray diffractometric study of pitchblende and gummites
Abstract
The following tasks were set before the X‑ray diffractometric study: to establish amorphous or crystalline nature of samples; to find out whether there are significant structural changes for different samples of gummites, isolated by morphological features into varieties; to identify, if possible, the reasons for the structural features of different samples; to give X‑ray diffractometric standards for gummites, comparing them with the results of X‑ray diffractometric studies of these minerals available in the literature; to trace the nature of changes in minerals during their heat treatment. The work was carried out in the X‑ray diffractometric laboratory of the Fedorovsky Institute at the Leningrad Mining Institute in 1948.
