"Theoretically" U,V,W should not be refined at all as they describe instrumental broadening, and this is exactly what I do (usually). After diffractometer alignment, a good quality pattern in whole possible angular range has to be collected from "Rietveld standard" which currently is LaB6. From t

>U, V, and W tend to be highly correlated The correlation between U,V,W is the result of a resolution curve that doesn't have a well defined minimum. If you differentiate the Caglioti equation for the FWHM: FWHM**2=U.tan**2(theta)+V.tan(theta)+W you obtain the condition for the minimum as 2U.ta

Donna (and anyone else who wonders about this), In gsas\examples there is an iparm file (inst_xry.prm) that can be used for most any Bragg-Brentano powder diffractometer. These instruments all perform more or less equally independent of manufacturer with respect to the things of interest for Rie

Hi! I am trying to refine some XRD data using GSAS and looking for an instrument parameter file for the Rigaku Dmax 2000 x-ray diffractometer. Can anyone help? Thanks Donna
