Hi all,

As a new rietveld user (fullprof) i wanted to check structure factors
calculated thanks to several others softwares : Lazy-Pulverix, Powdercell
1.0 and Carine Crystallography 3.1.

And i was surprised to obtain significants differences. For instance for
Nickel FCC, lazy-pulverix and fullprof give for 111,200,220 planes
:70.4,65.2,50.3 but powdercell 1.0 and Carine Crystallography give for the
same planes 82.2,77.0,62.1. (no thermal factors had been considered in both
cases)

Such differences can have a great influence for quantitative analysis.

Does someone know where differences come from? Which software is the more
reliable?
