Hi Dimitris,

First, thank you kindly for your wonderful reply - there is a lot of great 
information to parse through! I will have a look through GSAS and the provided 
mailing list as well. 

To quickly add context, here are two images refined to my static structure 
(compared with experimental data):
FM3m starting lattice - https://imgur.com/a/l1HJjLD
R3m starting lattice - https://imgur.com/a/805dbOw

It seems to me that the FM3m cubic lattice matches peak positions well (fewer 
reflections overall), but not so much the intensities. However, I think this 
can likely be refined more. The R3m refinement matches the diffraction well 
apart from the anomalous peak seen at a 2theta of ~0.85 (this is also the case 
with FM3m). This peak is not present in the 'excited' structure, which is 
peculiar, and seems to imply a change in symmetry. 

The key observable we see crystallographically is a deviation in an expected 
Debye-Waller-like behaviour, with anomalous peak shifts and intensity changes 
in reflections related to the (100) plane (e.g. the (200)/(400) reflections). I 
am thinking there is likely a change of symmetry occurring and hoping to eek it 
out using refinement. 

Best,
Kamil
