I would like to know whether GSAS is able to constraint the Uiso value
so that it will be always bigger than zero.
As others have indicated - GSAS does not do that (topas gives you the
option, doubtless amongst others). Shelx does do that (with single
crystal data) and you can't turn it off

In the early stages of a Rietveld refinement you might want to fix some
parameters, for example
you might want to refine just zero point, cell constants, scale factor

of course, we could all start refining corrected S(Q) instead of raw
data. This is less convenient, but not outrageously so with modern
computing. A bit of work on the software side would also make it more
convenient if there is interest in the community.

With regard to "constrained" refinement: Should one first refine lattice

I see it, lattice parameters are directly observable in the xrd pattern; if one

Another common reason why Uiso is low is because of the neglect of absorption.

I will be out of the office starting 07/03/2006 and will not return until
07/10/2006.
I am out of town and will respond to your message upon my return. Please

any X-ray diffraction needs.
Hi Lachlan
Good to hear from you. Sorry I havn't been in touch for a while, but
I've hit one of those personal crises life throws up. The new job has basically
made me realise that I want out of London. I'm thinking of doing a bit of
travelling first and then maybe trying to settle down in
Dear Srebri and Yaroslav,
Thanks a lot for your input. However, my question does not concern a
specific compound I'm working with myself, but rather the ranking of the
solutions in Armel Le Bail's benchmark tests with bethanechol chloride
