Sorry, pressed the wrong button...
If you just want to try fitting the peaks, you could try something like this:
str
phase_name "Metal_oxide"
local broad 100 'crys size for hk0 and hkl
local sharp 2000 'crys size for 00l
local csL =
IF (And(H == 0, K == 0, L > 0)) THEN
sharp
ELSE
broad
ENDIF;
CS_L(csL)
'insert remainder of structure...
I don't know much about Lvol, but isn't an "average" crystallite size for a
highly asymmetric crystal not all that meaningful? I am willing to be educated
here, as I haven't had much need to get accurate crystallite size from
diffraction data before....
Cheers
Matthew

Subject: Anisotropic peak broadening with TOPAS
Dear Topas experts,
C) One could leave the spherical harmonics approach
and go to a user defined model, which refines different
Cry Size parameters for different crystal directions.
In my case, two parameters would probably be sufficient,
one for the c-direction, and a common one for the a- and
b-direction.
The Topas Technical Reference, section 7.6.3. gives a
similar example of a user defined peak broadening function,
depending on the value of l in hkl.
I could probably come up with an analogous solution
which has a 1/cos(theta) dependence and two parameters,
one for the 00l and one for the hk0 case.
My problem with this approach is how to treat the
mixed reflections hkl. I suppose they should be
scaled with a somehow weighted mix of the two
parameters, where the weighting depends on the
angle between the specific hkl and the c-axis.
However, I no idea how a physically reasonable
weighting scheme (and the corresponding Topas syntax)
should look like.
