Dear Bhuv, yes it is possible to evaluate it. Normally it should be sufficient to compute the F2 index from the spherical harmonic coefficient. The problem may be is that TOPAS does not have such computation inside. So the other way is to export the coefficients, to hope they are some standard o

Hi, I would like to discuss a couple of questions raised by a referee;-( I am not sure if it is ethical or not - I thought it is better to ask the way than . 1. I have used very (very very)small amount of sample to collect a powder pattern and I have corrected possible graininess with sphe

Hi I think that is very difficult obtain a free-strain material, and we can not  neglect this effect, and it is very useful work with integral breadth rahter tan FWHM, and you should use a reference material in order to obtain the breadth due the instrument, because if you only take in accou

Dear users of the Rietveld method:   I would like to launch a question regarding the use of the Scherrer method of line-broadening analysis. When estimating the crystallite size in a undistorted material (free of lattice microstrains) using Scherrer method, should I use the integral bread

P.S. The word "deposit" has additional meanings equivalent to "sediment", "sludge", "settlings", "dreg", "varnish" etc. Thanks. Just what I was meaning. The association "sludge varnish" is even more accurate ? Sediment is fine because the Academy has a strong effect of attraction and capture many
