Abstract
NXFitis a program for obtaining optimized structural parameters from amorphous materials by simultaneously fitting X-ray and neutron pair-distribution functions. Partial correlation functions are generated inQspace, summed and Fourier transformed for comparison with the experimental data inrspace.NXFituses the Nelder–Mead method to vary a set of `best guess' parameters to achieve a fit to experimentally derived data. The output parameters fromNXFitare coordination number, atomic separation and disorder parameter for each atomic correlation used in the fitting process. The use ofNXFithas been demonstrated by fitting both X-ray and neutron diffraction data from two quite different amorphous materials: a melt-quenched (Na2O)0.5(P2O5)0.5glass and a (TiO2)0.18(SiO2)0.82sol–gel.
