If the asymmetry of the profiles is also anisotropic I guess on stacking faults on close packed planes 00l. However, the HKL law looks little bit strange to me ...

Dear all,

I would appreciate any comments for the following problem.

I have been studying samples (ABO2) with a rather simple R -3 m structure. Although I had expected their neutron powder diffraction refinement should be simple, I encountered a strange problem. Many of the peak positions are quite off from where they should be. For instance, I singled out and refine (0 0 3), (0 0 6), (0 0 9) & (0 0 12) separately. Quite strangely, (0 0 6) peak is noticeably off when (0 0 3), (0 0 9) and (0 0 12) are good. For full refinements, such problem shows up for several peaks. I see same trend from data measured at two different instruments: CW and TOF. FYI, the peak profiles are quite Lorentzian and asymmetric.

Anybody have experiences such a problem, and/or have suggestions what is going on? I would greatly appreciate.

Jae-Ho
