Dear all I have found double sided carbon sticky tabs used for mounting samples for Scanning Electron Microscopes are really useful for XRD. Apart from a very weak amorphous band corresponding to the graphite 002 peak there really isn’t much

to lay flat. At first I had some good luck with some 3M double sided tape I inherited, laying it down, then pressing the sample into that. However, when I ran out, I discovered the new tapes I bought had such a strong signal you could often see it through
the sample, and it would drown out the actual measurement. Does anyone have recommendations for specific double-sided tape that have minimal, and preferably amorphous PXRD diffractograms? It turns out that 3M makes a *<b>lot</b>* of different double-sided
tapes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
