Dear Armel, Thanks for this nice quiz! However, after identifying the following spectral impurities: Cu K_beta, W L_alpha1,2 W L_beta1,2,3,4 and W L_gamma1, I am stuck now, leaving bout 1/2 to 1/3 of the tiny extra peaks unexplained. Some of them look suspiciously like Cu K_alpha1+2 doubl

Hi Norberto, just my two cents: If you observe a discrepancy between observed and calculated intensities, then it could also be that the calculated intensities are wrong. Depending on the software you use for the Rietveld refinement, it may happen that the wrong combination of space group setting

In the GUI mode, you simply initialize a parameter by entering its name in into the grid on the "codes" tab, without the "=" sign! This is equivalent to changing the line of code you've sent from Site OH num_posns 4 x 0 y 0 z 0.315309 occ O =oh; : 0.5 min =0; max =0.5; beq 1 to Site OH num_p

Dear Liang, I'm not sure if we are talking about the same "Z", but I'll give it a try. To the best of my knowledge, "Z" simply denotes the number of formula units per unit cell. In order to "determine" Z, we have to distinguish two cases: 1) The crystal structure is known. In this case, you simp

Hi Shishir, I'd like to help, but I am not exactly sure what you want. First, you are asking for "example code". Does this mean that you want to work in launch mode instead of using the GUI? If so, why? Second, it would be important to know why exactly you want to use simultaneous refinement.

Dear Ana, maybe I am a little bit picky here, but actually you cannot convert U(ij) into U(iso), because U(ij) result from a fit with anisotropic displacement parameters, while U(iso) results from a fit with isotropic displacement parameters. Thus, to convert one into the other means repeating th
