Category ATOM_ANALYTICAL_MASS_LOSS

Name:
'ATOM_ANALYTICAL_MASS_LOSS'

Parent category:
ATOM

Definition:

   
    Data items in the ATOM_ANALYTICAL_MASS_LOSS category provide information
    pertaining to mass loss during specimen preparation for
    the purposes of determining elemental composition
    information for use in crystallographic structure studies.

Example:

Four mass-loss percentages are given for measurement 'a', and two for measurement 'b'. The mass losses were recorded after exposing the specimen to the listed temperatures. The mass lost at a lower temperature for the same measurement should be included in the higher temperatures; that is, for measurement 'a', the total mass loss after four measurements is 15 wt%, not (2+5+10+15) wt%.
