- a is not constant but depends on grain size of analyte and the nature of the matrix of other phases.
- Note that microabsorption effects can be severe in this method due to the possibility of the pure phase J and the multiphase sample having different absorption properties and crystallite size distributions.
Precision: Approximately 5% relative error
Detection Limit: Measured in tenths of percent
(NB precision and LOD as quoted by Zevin are probably optimistic)
