In addition, to a primary diffraction angle (peak), several other characteristic peaks are also produced, though they are not as intense. The use of these other peaks allows an analyst to confirm that the primary peak is actually produced by silica and not by an interference.   eTools Home : Silica  Site Map | SEP | FAQ | Bibliography | Glossary | Viewing / Printing Instructions | Credits
