Advice on a new diffractometer

1999-11-08 Thread Kurt Leinenweber
Hi everyone, There is a diffractometer here for rapid data collection (Siemens D5000, 7.5 degree position-sensitive detector, no monochromator and can't be retrofitted for one). My question is, what would be a good choice for a second diffractometer in this situation (ie what brand, what kind of

Kurt (& others), The real problem with small samples in Bragg- Brentano geometry is assuring that the sample covers uniformly the entire "foot print" of the incident x-ray beam at all scattering angles used in the scan, i.e. there are no "bare spots". If this is not achieved then the observed diff

Re: gsas in dos & UNIX

1999-11-08 Thread Bob Von Dreele
Roger (& others), The transfer of GSAS files from unix (linux) to PC is straightforward, but one does have to do certain things to get it right. The problem is that these files (exp, data & iparm) are all in fixed record length (80 character) direct access format. On unix machines this has the app

Hi Roger, I don't think that there will be problems with the EXP file, but there could be with the data file as the end of line statements may not be there in the UNIX version and all the data may be on one line. If this is the case you will simply need to convert it to an 80 column per line for

Dear All, I think that standardisation is an important topic at the moment- the dawn of a database of diffraction patterns. If you take a look through the different formats that GSAS and FULLPROF can accept (I name those only for convenience) it is a bit of a jungle- I include of course both 2-ax
