May have briefly mentioned this previously(?) but some more Rietvelds, both by Luca Lutterotti, worth checking out follow. Both use GUIs (Graphical user Interfaces) that enable evaluation and useage with minimal activation energy. 1. Rietquan for Windows 2. MAUD for Java (Rietveld-Quant-Stress-Texture) http://www.ing.unitn.it/~luttero/ UK: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/lutterotti/~luttero/ Australia; ftp://ftp.minerals.csiro.au/pub/xtallography/ccp14/ccp/web-mirrors/lutterotti/~luttero/index.html ---------- Rietquan for Windows includes a setup installer (with instructions in Italian - but the installed program uses English). Via a GUI (Graphical User Interface) it does: Quantitative phase analysis of crystalline and amorphous phases. Microstructural analysis of crystallite size and r.m.s. microstrain Database and "automatic" refinement mode. Can use CIF and ICSD file formats. Is being replace by MAUD Rietveld for JAVA. http://www.ing.unitn.it/~luttero/rietquan/rietquan_20.html UK: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/lutterotti/~luttero/rietquan/rietquan_20.html Australia; ftp://ftp.minerals.csiro.au/pub/xtallography/ccp14/ccp/web-mirrors/lutterotti/~luttero/rietquan/rietquan_20.html ------------ The replacement for Rietquan is the developing "MAUD for Java" (thus in theory platform independent) which has installers/distributions for Windows and Mac. "MAUD stands for Material Analysis Using Diffraction. It is based on the RITA/RISTA method by H.-R. Wenk, S. Matthies and L. Lutterotti (see references). Other researchers contributing to the development of the methodology include M. Ferrari (micromechanic), N. C. Popa (for the Line Broadening), R. W. Grosse-Kunstleve with SgInfo and M.De (official tester)." MAUD is heavily under development. http://www.ing.unitn.it/~luttero/maud/maud.html UK: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/lutterotti/~luttero/maud/maud.html Australia; ftp://ftp.minerals.csiro.au/pub/xtallography/ccp14/ccp/web-mirrors/lutterotti/~luttero/maud/maud.html ----------------- Again, have not used this in anger but in terms of low activation energy to start testing out the software/cross-validation of other Rietveld results,; these both look real goers.
