Armel,
Not bad for a few hours work! I hope that everyone gives some feedback because
this is a great opportunity to decide what we as users want in a database.
Perhaps we should also return to one of the old chestnuts (quaint English
expression that means 'classic argument') from the powder diffraction meeting
a while back- should we standardise the data by presenting it in d or q
(irrespective of whether the fit was done in 2theta or TOF, etc)?- This can
only simplify comparisions of data.
Can I make a few suggestions:
1) Give the wavelength(s) in Angstroms, with ratios, so that lab source and
neutron people can understand each other (Cu k-alpha and PG(002) both require
'specialised' knowledge).
2) Allow the reader to browse through the formula.
3) If people are to quickly check out the data we either need to have some
standardised viewers (or data format), or a ps/pdf/jpeg picture of the
pattern. Again d spacing or q might be useful to aid comparisons between
wavelengths.
Lachlan what suggestions do you have for viewers?
Bonne chance,
Andrew
