Res
– Resolution function type
=0
Resolution function of the instrument is not given
≠0 The next
line contains the name of the file where the instrumental resolution
function is
given for an instrument using as
scattering variable 2θ.
This options works, at present, only for
constant wavelength type of data. The profile is
assumed to be a Voigt function (Npr=7).
12 parameters or a table determine the
resolution function. Ui ,Vi ,Wi , Xi ,Yi
, Zi (i=1,2 for λ1 and λ2)
The different types of functions are:
HL
= (Xi 2θ +Yi )2θ + Z
HL
= (Xi 2θ +Yi )2θ + Zi
Res =4
List of values 2θ , HG
(2θ ) , HL (2θ )
(a linear interpolation is applied for intermediate 2θ)
Nba
– Background type
=0
Refine background with a polynomial function.
=1
Read
background from file CODFIL.bac.
The format of this file is explained in this appendix.
=2,3,...,N Linear
interpolation between the N given points. If Nba<0 but
ABS(Nba)>4
the interpolation is performed using cubic splines
=-1
Refine background with Debye-like + polynomial function. =-2
Background treated iteratively by using a Fourier filtering technique.
An extra
parameter is read below. The starting background is read from file
FILE.bac as for
Nba=1.
=-3
Read 6 additional polynomial background coefficients
=-5 Chebychev polynomials, up to 24 coefficients
Iwg- Refinement weighting scheme
=0 Standard least squares refinement
=1 Maximum likelihood refinement For low counting statistics
=2 Unit weights
Ilo
– Lorentz and polarization corrections
= 0 Standard Debye-Scherrer geometry, or Bragg-Brentano if the
illuminated area does not
exceed the sample surface. If
Bragg-Brentano geometry is used but the above condition
is not fulfilled, the intensity data
must be corrected for the geometric effect before
attempting any refinement. A partial
correction can be performed by using the
parameter Sent0.
= 1 Flat plate PSD geometry
=-1 The Lorentz-Polarisation correction is not performed. It is
supposed that the profile has
been previously corrected for
Lorentz-Polarisation.
=2 Transmission geometry. Flat plate with the scattering vector within
the plate (Stoe
geometry for X-rays)
=3 Special polarisation correction is applied even
if the format of the DAT-file does not
correspond to one of the synchrotron
explicitly given formats (see below). This must
be used for synchrotron data
given in a (X, Y, Sigma) format (Ins=10).
Cry – Single crystal job and
refinement algorythm type
≠0 Only integrated intensity data will be given. No profile parameters
are needed.
The format of the file changes
slightly in the following.
=1 Refinement of single crystal data or integrated intensity powder
data.
=2 No least-squares algorithm is applied. Instead a Montecarlo search
of the starting
configuration is performed. A
selected number of parameters Nre are moved within
box defined by the Nre
relations fixing the allowed values of the parameters. The best
(lowest R-factor) NSOLU
solutions are printed and the CODFIL.pcr file is updated with
the best solution. This option
is only efficient for a small number of parameters (3-4).
The use of the next option is
recommended for large number of parameters.
=3 The Simulated Annealing optimisation method is chosen. A selected
number
parameters Nre are
moved within a box defined by the Nre relations fixing the allowed
values of the parameters.
Different boundary conditions may be used. See below.
Uni
- Scattering variable unit
=0 2θ in degrees
=1 T.O.F. in micro-seconds
=2 Energy in keV.
Cor
– Intensity correction
=0 No correction is applied
=1 A file with intensity corrections is read.
=2 A similar file is read but the coefficients of an empirical
deviations are read instead of directly the corrections.
The format of this file is described in this appendix.
Dum – Control of the divergence
for specific jobs, ex: profile matching
=1 If equal to 1 and some of the phases are treated with Profile
Matching modes, the
criterion of convergence when
shifts are lower than a fraction of standard deviations is
not applied.
=2 If equal to 2, the program is stopped in case of local divergence:
chi2(icycle+1)>
chi2(icycle)
=3 If equal to 3 the reflections near excluded regions (Tlim±Wdt*FWHM)
are not taken
into account to calculate the
Bragg R-factor. These reflections are omitted in the output
files with hkl's.
If ABS(Job(n_pat))>1
(pattern calculation mode, see below) and Dum is different of
zero a file CODFIL.sim is
generated
