Disentangling instrumental broadening
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new procedure aiming at disentangling the instrumental profile broadening and the relevant X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) profile shape is presented. The technique consists of three steps: denoising by means of wavelet transforms, background suppression by morphological functions and deblurring by a Lucy–Richardson damped deconvolution algorithm. Real XRPD intensity profiles of ceria samples are used to test the performances. Results show the robustness of the method and its capability of efficiently disentangling the instrumental broadening affecting the measurement of the intrinsic physical line profile. These features make the whole procedure an interesting and user-friendly tool for the pre-processing of XRPD data. ⋆ Corresponding author, E mail: [email protected], Phone: +39 0805929166, Fax: +39 0805929170

Model independent pre-processing of X-ray powder diffraction profiles
Precise knowledge of X-ray diffraction profile shape is crucial in the investigation of the properties of matter in crystals powder. Line-broadening analysis is a preprocessing step in most of the full powder pattern fitting softwares. Final result of line-broadening analysis strongly depends on preliminary three steps: Noise filtering, removal of background signal and peak fitting. In this wor...

Diffraction Line Broadening - Nuisance or Lattice- Imperfections Fingerprints*
Diffraction lines are broadened for two reasons: instrumental eonfigura tion and physical origins. The latter yields information on materials microstructure. The complete process of line-broadening analysis is discussed, beginning with experimental procedure s and a correction for instrumental broadening. In the analysis of the physically broadened line profile, the main emphasis is given to th...
متن کاملA new, simple approximation for the deconvolution of instrumental broadening in spectroscopic band profiles.
A robust empirical correction formula has been developed for the approximation of Lorentzian widths, using a known spectrometer bandpass, in instrument-broadened Voigt bands in optical spectra. The relationship between analytically calculated [(w(Voigt) - w(Lorentz))/w(Gauss)] and [w(Voigt)/w(Gauss) - 1] values (where w is the full width at half-maximum [FWHM]) is analyzed to derive the formula...
متن کاملLimits to the spatial, energy and momentum resolution of electron energy-loss spectroscopy.
We discuss various factors that determine the performance of electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy-filtered (EFTEM) imaging in a transmission electron microscope. Some of these factors are instrumental and have undergone substantial improvement in recent years, including the development of electron monochromators and aberration correctors. Others, such as radiation damage, delocal...
