[The powder X-ray diffraction analysis with Fourier spectrum of Chinese material medica Cortex Cinnamomi].
OBJECTIVE
To develop a method for the identification of Chinese medicinal materials in diffraction space.


METHODS
Using powder X-ray diffraction analysis to obtain the Fourier spectrum of 10 samples of Cortex Cinnamomi.


RESULTS
The analysis shows that each of the 10 samples has its own Fourier pattern topology and characteristic peaks which are connected with its chemical composition.


CONCLUSIONS
Cortex Cinnamomi can be identified successfully according to its topology and characteristic peaks.
