PW1710/00 diffractometer full-duplex control (Only the PLUS version).
Qualitative
Automatic and search/match phase identification in combination with the ICDD Powder Diffraction File (PDF2).
Display stick, hkl-indices and information for PDF patterns.
Boolean searching [(Name (And, And, And) + Chemical (And, Or, Not] + PDF sub-files + deleted patterns).
Automatic refinement and graphical adjustment of lattice parameters.
Quantitative
The determination of amounts of different phases in multi-phase samples is automatically accomplished by LS pattern-fitting in experimental standard patterns and observed X-ray scattering. Intensities are fitted including some fitting parameters, i.e. peak position and absorption correction.
Only in the XPowder professional versions: The determination of amounts of different phases in multi-phase samples is automatically accomplished by LS pattern-fitting in PDF2 standard patterns and observed X-ray scattering by Normalized RIR Methods. Intensities are fitted including some fitting parameters, i.e. peak position, profile broadening (Pseudo Voigt model versus experimental Form Factors) and absorption correction. The results are shows automatically on the graphic screen. Parameter fitting are not request as starting point. The accuracy of the results depending mainly of the PDF2 patter quality achieved in the searching. Innovative global amorphous stuff.
Profile
Calculation of profile parameters such as FWMH, Form Factor, Asymmetry, X-Size and strain (Williamson-Hall and Warren-Averbach),Log-Normall crystal size distribution, integral Counts, instrumental broadening correction, etc..
Phase profile extraction (LS methods).
