At least the anisotropic formalism by Popa (J. Appl. Cryst.
(1998) 31, 176-180) has been used for anisotropic shape refinements using the MAUD Rietveld codes, on textured samples: Thin Solid Films 450, 2004, 216-221.

You not correctly understood me (I would like to believe that not
ill-disposed).
I said that no development for size anisotropy has been done including
"physical" size distributions (like lognormal, etc.) as were done for the
isotropic case.
For example: Langford, Louer & Scardi, JAC (2000) 33, 964-974 and Popa &
Balzar JAC (2002) 35, 338-346.
Concerning previous (phenomenological) works trying to take account of
strain/size anisotropy in the Rietveld method, I have myself a contribution:
"The (hkl) dependence of diffraction-line broadening caused by strain and
size for all Laue groups in Rietveld refinement, N. C. Popa, J. Appl. Cryst.
(1998) 31, 176-180."
Could I be so stupid to say that such kind of works, including mine, are
nothing?

Best wishes,
Nicolae Popa
