Hi,
>As I get older, I believe less and less in legends. In the IUCr 1999 issue >that I cited, I should have also mentioned that there is an interesting >article on p.4 called "The Powder Diffraction Handicap" by Armel le Bail :-) Indeed, "never say never" is verified again. The powder diffraction handicap (overlapping) can be considered as suppressed by XFEL https://www.xfel.eu/ where each single microcrystal of the powder produces 3D diffraction data, and all data are recombined ! But for solving too simple problems, you will not have access to that overloaded machine and will have to continue to use your laboratory powder diffractometer and (now) classical approaches. So, once again, the aristocracy of powder diffractionists is displaced, this time from third generation synchrotron to XFEL, amusing, new legends will be built, probably. Best, Armel
