30. Note that a relative intensity corrected spectrum refers here to a spectrum with the correct spectral shape, but the absolute intensity scale is arbitrary.

Such identification does not imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nor does it imply that the materials or equipment identified are necessarily the best available for the purpose.

46. Note that the B factors are referred to here as absolute intensities, even though they are relative to an ideal diffuse reflector. The B factors must actually be multiplied by the corresponding fluxes of the excitation beam at the sample to yield absolute intensities in power units.
