Abstract

Commonly used powder structure refinement programs and a variety of auxiliary routines for the handling of powder patterns are collected in a software package of individual programs to be run in any laboratory on personal computers. The package contains PC least squares versions of the full pattern refinement Rietveld method and of the two-stage method applying individual peak profile analysis (PROFAN) and using integrated intensities (POWLS). The auxiliary programs represent a comprehensive PC software environment containing tools for scaling and combining data sets, for adding and subtracting different files, for determination of background and peak intensities, for displaying and labelling of diagrams, for hardcopies on printers and plotters and for file outputs to be included in word processing systems.
