SrRietveld: a program for automating Rietveld refinements for high-throughput powder diffraction studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
SrRietveld is a highly automated software toolkit for Rietveld refinement. Compared to traditional refinement programs, it is more efficient to use and easier to learn. It is designed for modern high-throughput diffractometers and is capable of processing large numbers of data sets with minimal effort. The software currently uses conventional Rietveld refinement engines, automating GSAS and FullProf refinements. However, as well as automating and extending many tasks associated with these programs, it is designed in a flexible and extensible way so that in the future these engines can be replaced with new refinement engines as they become available. SrRietveld is an open-source software package developed in Python.

متن کاملHigh-throughput phase-diagram mapping via powder diffraction: a case study of HEWL versus pH.
44 samples of tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) were obtained as a series of polycrystalline precipitates at 277 K and room temperature in the pH range between 6.56 and 3.33. The precipitates were investigated by the collection of high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction data at 295 K, which reveal the tetragonal or orthorhombic forms of lysozyme depending on the temperature and pH of cr...

The power of the state-of-the-art neutron powder diffractometer suite at the Institut Laue–Langevin for investigating the structure of nondeuterated materials is presented using gypsum, CaSO4 2H2O, as a reference material. It is shown that flexible modern neutron powder diffraction instruments at reactorbased sources can yield data with sufficient counting statistics above the incoherent scatte...

In the 12 years since the last Accuracy in Powder Diffraction meeting, there have been significant advances. Just an example: a search of the Protein Data Bank for “powder” shows just 2 hits for before 2000, 19 for 2000‐2005, 27 for 2005‐2010 and 31 for 2010‐present. The current Cambridge Crystallographic Data Base (CCDC) shows 2354 molecular crystal structures determined via powder diffraction...
متن کاملMultidataset Refinement Resonant Diffraction, and Magnetic Structures
The scope of Rietveld and other powder diffraction refinements continues to expand, driven by improvements in instrumentation, methodology and software. This will be illustrated by examples from our research in recent years. Multidataset refinement is now commonplace; the datasets may be from different detectors, e.g., in a time-of-flight experiment, or from separate experiments, such as at sev...
