Information in Atom Program

2001-07-05 Thread Irini Mastoraki
Dear all,   Has anyone ever used the atom program to design crystallographic or magnetic structure?       I have a difficulty at this time in the way we define the octahedra or tetrhedra in a crystallographic structure.Also I would like some advise upon how we can define a specific number of

RE: Debye Temperature & Lattice Thermal Expansion

2001-07-05 Thread Radaelli, PG (Paolo)
This is to answer the question from Alexandros: The simplest approximation to the thermal expansion coefficient uses the Debye or Einstein specific heat through the so-called Gruneisen formula alpha=gamma*cv/(3*B*Vm) where alpha is the linear expansion coefficient (1/3 of the volume TEC), B

Dear All, we are planning to purchase a new diffractometer, which will be mostly devoted (but not exclusively) to structure determination. We will mainly study organometallic compounds and silicate minerals, working both in transmission and reflection geometry. Two possible choices for Siemens D

Errors in Rietveld Quantitative Phase Analysis

2001-07-05 Thread Retief, Johannes (JJ)
Hallo All, We are using Rietveld refinement for quantitative phase analysis. I would like to know just how "quantitative" it really is, on an absolute as well as a relative basis. The sample is obviously a large source of error. Does anybody know what relative errors one can expect, or can som

Dear Irini, do you mean the program ATOMS by Eric Dowty? Defining polyhedra in ATOMS is pretty straight forward by using Input1/Polyhedra (I am referring to version 5.0). Defining the no. of atoms or the size of the structure fragment drawn is done in Input1/Boundary. If you want to draw diff

Hi all!!   I wonder whether someone could tell me why the fullprof creates such a sum file which can not be read. Is it possible to tell me someone why this is so?many thanks in advanceIrini 2kb.sum

Hi Irini, This sum file can be read - just open it using notepad if you're in windows. I'm not certain what you'd use to read it in other OS. Jude :-) All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then d

Natale (and others!) We have a very new D8 equipped with dual Goebel mirrors (40mm primary and secondary), but have no experience with the Vario monochromator (very fiddly to keep well aligned so I'm told). We've just used the reflection geometry so far, as we haven't even got around to mounting
