[GSAS-II] Double sided tape recommendations for sample measurement

[Brown, Matthew]

All

We have a lot of groups working on coatings and films here, and they will often bring me foldy, crinkly materials that need to be forced 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 *lot* of different double-sided tapes.

Thank you all.
