 Back in 2018 I did a bunch of XRD analyses on my samples for my thesis research. I looked at the results briefly at the time, and have been focusing on other aspects of the study pretty much ever since, not counting taking the time to do a detailed write-up for five of the samples as a section for a paper to be published. The thesis outline has been sitting with a chapter heading for the XRD results, and nothing under that heading for a very long time and I have been writing other sections. Late last night I suddenly decided that it was time to solve that, so now I have taken the figures and data from those five samples, generally compared them to the trends in the other 35+ samples, and finished the section.
