Hi, Does anyone have a copy of the 1962 IUCr World List of Crystallographic Computer Programs that was distributed with the November 1962 issue of Acta...
Dear Colleages: could any of you indicates the advantages of using synchroton X-ray radiation over the X-rays obtained from a conventional X-ray diffractometer...

Hi Paco: A synchrotron beam is more collimated (parallel) and the brightness is higher. However, modern lab systems have collimating optics and newer tubes...

Hi, The magic of the algorithm seems reduced in case of powder data according to the Superflip manual : "...cannot really compete with the direct-space based...
I think that the author of Superflip is too modest. However, that's sure that if you cannot extract reliable amplitudes, you cannot do too much in the...

Posted on behalf of Christian Baerlocher (currently without acces to sdpd): The author of superflip is certainly modest, but he is also honest. It is true...
Dear Rietveld useres, I need one help, I need to calibrate the machine, and instrumental parameters of our INEL diffractometer, I don't have the LaB6 powder,...

Hi, Looking at ToF data, one sees a few isolated peaks at large d(A) values and soon a massive peak overlapping for the smallest d(A). The difficulty to solve...
Hi, Can I just point out that sweeping generalisations about time-of-flight data do no-one any favours. The real issue is the diffractometer, not the...
Hi, Sure, my comment about problems due to huge overlapping cancels if there is no overlapping, or somewhere in between huge and none, possibly. Armel...
Dear All, I am interested in knowing if Ti2S exists in hexagonal form. PDF database (mine is 1999) has this form of Ti2S, but it is in the deleted category....

Hi I think the best one for this is Peakfit that will give you the FWHM for each peak. you can find more information in the following link ...
Dear SM, you may use the software Fullprof for that (http://www.ill.fr/pages/science/IGroups/diff/Soft/fp/index.html). It plots directly the WH plot and...
