Dear Rietveld Users, I am currently trying to work with TOF (HRPD – ISIS) data with Fullprof.
In order to learn more about the diffractometer and the profile I have started with a standard : the CeO2 Sharp from the Round Robin (Balzar). I have done a pattern matching refinement, but I fell that my profile is not so great Rwp around 15%. I have read the nice and pedagogical Chapter 4 from Neutron Rietveld Refinement from R.B. Von Dreele in the Reviews in Mineralogy (n°64) and the Fullprof manual but I am still lost. The profile in TOF is really more complicated than a simple pseudo-Voigt function ! My questions / requests: - I have the gamma values in the IRF and the PCR file, but in the Edit Pcr I am unable to get them ? - Instrumental resolution function for HRPD/ISIS L. Chapon 12/2003 - ! To be used with function NPROF=9 in FullProf (Res=5) - ! ---------------------------------------------------- Bank 1 - ! Type of profile function: back-to-back expon * pseudo-Voigt - NPROF 9 - !

Is there any same rules for TOF refinement ? - Does anyone have done such works with GSAS on the same data ?, in order to compare the reliability factors.
