Dear all, I too have posed style similar questions to Arnt Kern at Bruker. He pointed me to amongst other sources Wikipedia for a general background in this topic. However Im still keen to get a better understanding of use/parameterisation within Topas and I too welcome any contributions to this

Dear All, Anyone knows about capillaries giving a distinctly lower background than the ones (borosilicate) I presently use? Your suggestions on materials and where to get them are welcome. best regards Natale Perchiazzi Inviato da Yahoo! Mail. La casella di posta

Hi Xiujun Tim, while I am not familiar with the texture analysis offered in Topas, I can offer a few hopefully useful hints. - The texture index is a number that is 1 for a perfectly random sample and infinity for a single crystal. A weak texture would have an index between say 1 and 1.5, a

dear Natale, BTW, did you ever make a chemical analysis of your capillaries? I tried once, and as far as I remember, I remained with the terrible doubt that it was just bottle glass... An alternative are CA (cellulose acetate) capillaries which really contain only first row elements and can

Hi Xiujun Topas implements a normalized symmetrized sperical harmonics function, see Jarvine J. Appl. Cryst. (1993). 26, 525-531 http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S0021889893001219 The expansion is simply a series that is a function hkl values. The series is normalized
