Hello Everybody, Dr. Von Dreele, Thanks for the information. Yes, it really worked when I used starting values that you suggested. Only function number 3, which is the second derivative of the 1th diffuse function, worked in my case. May be my diffuse background is little complicated (it contain l

Dear Milinda, You can (with care) refine a "true" background under the diffuse function. It may couple really strongly with the diffuse one tho. The "R" and maybe "U" coefficients can be interpreted as giving local structure information (distance & variation). Bob R.B. Von Dreele IPNS Division Arg

Dear Dr.Billinge, Thanks for the reply. Yes I agree with you, PDF is the best way to solve this diffuse background simultaneously with the Bragg contribution. However, the problem is low upper limit of Q, it is about 6A-1 in Q. Therefore, if I Fourier-transformed my data set, Fourier transform wil
