Caglioti U V W parameters

2007-06-25 Thread Stefan Berger
Dear All, i am a little bit confused about the magnitudes of the U V W profile parameters of the caglioti function for instrumental broadening. Is it true, that U and W are always positiv (larger 0) and V is always smaller 0 (negativ)? Thanks for your hints and explanations. Best Regards,

Stefan, Not really. You should care about full width at half maximum - that should not be negative in any case. As follows, negative W does not have much sense. Negative U is also suspicious because it means that at higher angles your peak width may stop increasing with the 2Theta increase,

Dear Stefan ( all, I suppose), From the original formulation by Caglioti, et al. U0, V0 W0 for a nonfocusing neutron CW instrument and describes a parabolic curve with the minimum at roughly the 2-theta angle that matches the monochromator take-off (really 2-theta) angle. For a Bragg-Brentano

Dear Yaroslav, Dear Bob and all, thanks for your hints. I don't have some difficulties with negative FWHM^2. I try to refine a pattern of LaB6 reference material with GSAS. Data were obtained with a Siemens D5000 diffractometer. So after refining background, zero, Lx, Ly and lattice

To all: OBSERVATION: Most of the reported X-ray Rietveld analyses I've seen include refined values for U, V, W which are dependent on the particular sample of interest. As you say below regarding U, V, W: They can be a bit hard to determine unless a very high quality pattern is used for

In my opinion, the short answer (regarding use of Caglioti parameters) is that their use is historic and somewhat convenient, but their usual application is based on no theory whatsoever, and they can be quite troublesome to apply. They came from a paper (Nuc. Instrum. Methods, 1958) on the

Matthew and Others: One has to be careful with the Gaussian parameters, as they add as squares. There is a newer publication that deals with this problem: Size-Strain Line-Broadening Analysis of the Ceria Round-Robin Sample, Journal of Applied Crystallography 37 (2004) 911-924. The reprint can
