OK Magnus, I see your point. But making a background file is not very work intensive, even for lots of samples. It's just clicking on points on a computer plot, and if its diffuse/disorder scattering the background will only vary slowly. If you only have a couple of extra peaks, you can also exclud

    Dear Magnus,     Here is a way to fit independent peaks in FullProf : 1. edit .pcr file and add for every independent peak an artificial phase to treat in Profile Matching refinement mode (Jbt=2 and Irf=0). You can use P m m m space group for example and adjust the a parameter to fit with

IMHO, it's not a good idea to introduce independent peaks with refinable positions, intensities, shapes and other parameters, simply to reduce your R-factor or save time. You risk reducing the confidence you can have in your structural parameters. That is why Rietveld defined the background rather

Hi, I'm playing with Fullprof again for the first time in many years since I've changed employer and lost my access to Topas. Is it possible to introduce independent peaks (i.e. peaks whose positions are not determined by a unit cell) with refinable positions, intensities and shapes in Fullpro
