Abstract

Some improvements have been introduced in the current computer program for powder diffraction pattern indexing using the dichotomy algorithm. The resulting version, DICVOL14, includes optimizations and extension of scanning limits for triclinic cases, a detailed review of the input data from the indexing solutions, cell centering tests and a new approach for zero-point offset evaluation. The performance of the new version is illustrated with many examples, such as triclinic cases with long axes and dominant zones. Some important parameters in pattern indexing based on the dichotomy algorithm are commented upon, e.g. the precision of data and spurious lines.
