Dear Rietvelders,I'm currently doing Rietveld refinements (with FullProf) for a multiphase sample whose 3 phases with space groups Fm3m, P63/m and I41a/md. The problem is the reflections of these 3 phases are very superposed and hence I have found that their (U,V,W) refined parameters seem to be very correlated.
I have read somewhere that for each phase we should begin refine W, then V and finally U. But I don't know in my case whose 3 phases having their own (U, V, W) we should follow which sequence ? First refine (U, V, W) of the strongest phase and then for others phases? Or should we refine simultaneously W for all phases and then V and U for all phases?
Do anyone of you have any experience on this case ? Thank you in advance for your kindly helps. Best regards, --- Huy LE-QUOC, Doctorant LPSC/CNRS - Centre de Recherche Plasmas-Matériaux-Nanostructures et Institut Néel/CNRS 53 rue des Martyrs, Grenoble 38026, FRANCE
