Abstract

Turbostratic disorder, consisting in a disorder in which different layers have different rotations with respect to an axis, is commonly found in montmorillonite. The effect of this kind of disorder on diffraction profiles is significant and must be taken into account, especially in quantitative phase analysis. The effect of the turbostratic disorder in textured materials has never been investigated. In the present work, we have developed a strategy to perform quantitative texture analysis on turbostratically disordered Ca-montmorillonite aggregates that were uniaxially compressed. Synchrotron diffraction images were analyzed with a Rietveld method and disordered and ordered models are compared. The method proved to be reliable and ready for further applications.
