*The passing of Hugo Rietveld, on the 50th anniversary of Rietveld
Refinement and the 100th anniversary of Powder Diffraction*
It is our sad duty to report the death of Hugo Rietveld at the age of 84
after a short illness. He leaves behind his wife, a son and two daughters
to whom we extend our
May he rest in peace. He did a great job for all the crystallographers.

It's possible it's in your other patterns, too, but because you don't have
much background in those, you'll have to look very closely to see anything.
I agree it's likely to be a detector issue.

Kindly pass on our heartfelt condolences to the family of Prof. Rietveld. May
his kind soul rest in peace. He shall be remembered by all of us for his
immense contribution in popularizing powder diffraction as a unique and
powerful tool in material characterization.

it is really a huge loss for the community for powder diffraction. Prof.
Rietveld's work was path breaking, which altogether changed the way of
looking the thing in crystallography.
May the God give the strength to the family and near and dear to overcome
this great loss and may the soul rest in
A sad day indeed for powder diffraction. The impact of Hugo Rietveld's work can
never be overestimated. Developing and applying the Rietveld method has been
central to my work for >30 years.
