As it seems that ALL ADP values in the structure are simultaneously high, I am afraid that there might be some instrumental/overall angle-dependent factor (absorption, polarization etc.)  incorrectly treated.  30.08.2018, 09:03, "Leopoldo Suescun" :Dear Maxim,I have a large number of structures

Actually, V and W reflect instrumental broadening - so better to be refined globally or fixed at the values refined with a standard (LaB6 or similar). U is a mixture of instrumental contribution and Gaussian strain broadening term - so, can de different for three phases. But practically for such

As far as I understand, the major issue is that BG subtraction changes the error statistics (accordingly, weights applied in calculating function to minimize...). It is also somewhat arbitrary how you choose the BG line - so, you can easily subtract part of Bragg contribution from base of peak

Dear colleagues, one question on that: U and W should be instrumental constants that will not change with sample, while V can have both an instrumental and a residual stress component. as far as I understand, the strain broadening term should have FWMM~theta dependence, i.e. Lorentzian Y
