Match! is able to calculate the amounts both of micro-crystalline as well as amorphous phases (to a certain degree) using the following methods for quantitative analysis:
Match! can perform a quantitative phase analysis completely on its own. All you must do is to press the corresponding button in the toolbar at the top or the combination <Ctrl+Alt+Q> on your keyboard (<Cmd+Alt+Q> on the Mac). The program will ask for any missing information, starting from the very beginning (pattern import) if required.
Once the quantitative analysis has been performed, the quantity (weight %) of each selected phase/entry is displayed in the "Amount (%)" column of the match list as well as in the report. In addition, a pie chart representation of the phase and element amounts is displayed on the “Composition” tab on the right-hand side of the program window.
Match! uses the default quantitative analysis method (RIR or Rietveld) for the automatic analysis. This can be adjusted on the corresponding tab of the "Options" window.
Once a quantitative analysis has been performed successfully, the quantity (weight %) of each selected phase/entry is displayed in the "Quant.(%)" column of the match list as well as in the report.
The composition can also be displayed as pie chart graphics on the "Composition" tab. This tab is either displayed automatically after the first or second phase has been selected as "matching", or it can be displayed manually, e.g. by running the menu command "View / Composition".
Depending on the corresponding "Options" setting, Match! will either display the phase composition, the elemental composition, or both in a combined "donut" pie chart. You can also switch between these display options by clicking on the menu button in the top-right corner of the pie chart graphics.
As soon as the phase amounts have been calculated, the elemental composition is also available. It can e.g. be displayed in the "tool tip" when the mouse cursor is placed over the match list, by running the menu command "Quantify / Elemental composition...", or on the "Composition" tab which can e.g. be displayed by running "View / Composition".
