Possible Pattern

The document outlines the peak positions of various copper-containing minerals, including Chalcopyrite, Chalcocite, Bornite, and Covellite. It identifies potential matches for two patterns, suggesting the first pattern could correspond to either Chalcopyrite or Chalcocite, while the second pattern aligns more closely with Covellite and Bornite. The information is based on crystallography data from sources like the ICDD.

Using the list of copper-containing minerals , cross-reference the peaks with the common peak positions

of these compounds (available in crystallography databases like the ICDD):


1.Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2): Known to have peaks near 29.80°, 43.45°, and 57.31°.
2.Chalcocite (Cu2S): Peaks may match 6.36° and 25.41°.
3.Bornite (Cu5FeS4): Potential matches with the pattern at 43.45° and 78.60°.
4.Covellite (CuS): May correspond to 19.12° and 25.41°.

Possibilities:
 First pattern could correspond to Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) or Chalcocite (Cu2S).

 Second pattern aligns more closely with Covellite (CuS) and Bornite (Cu5FeS4).
