Hi! Be careful with LeBail. There is a paper (I can send it to you) showing, that this method may give some errors (so is probably also for Pawley method). Best regards! Btw: preferred orientation should not influence the c parameter, but the intensity of an reflection. It can be influenced by sa

How much mismatch? If you're getting a good profile fit, I'd be inclined to doubt that it is a consequence of preferred orientation. You could mix your sample with another material (corundum powder, cork) to try to reduce the degree of preferred orientation, and see if that makes a difference. I
