Abstract
DIFFRACTION patterns obtained from plant fibres, ramie, hemp, etc., by using a method similar to that of Hull for crystal powders (Phys. Review, 10, 2, 661, 1917), do not agree in certain particulars with the data reported by Herzog and Jancke in Zeits. für Physik, 3–3, 196 to 198, 1920. They give a list of eight sets of planes, based on data obtained by using the “white light” radiation from a copper anticathode, and eliminating by inspection the Kβ reflections. In our work, molybdenum radiation was used and a monochromatic beam was obtained by filtering through a zirconium oxide screen.
