Abstract

With the serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) [1] using hard X-ray free-electron laser as light source, it is possible to obtained three-dimensional single-crystal diffraction data from powder samples consisting of submicron crystal grains. This offers two advantages. First, complicated crystal structures far beyond the ability of powder X-ray diffraction analysis now can be solved easily; second, mixtures of two or more crystalline components can be examined in a single experiment. The percentage of each component can be determined accurately and the crystal structure of them can be solved readily. Simulating calculations were performed with a mixture of two different kinds of zeolites. The program suite CrystFEL [2] was used for simulating SFX diffraction patterns, diffraction indexing and Monte-Carlo integration of diffraction intensities. The program suite SHELX [3] was used for structure determination. Satisfactory results have been obtained and will be discussed in detail.
