Dear colleagues, I am helping some people from the University of Frankfurt with their Rietveld refinements, and usually their powder patterns are measured on their own instrument and the refinements are excellent. This time, however, they have to work with a powder pattern that was sent to them. I

Hello,   There were discussions about the factors that may cause negative atomic displacement parameters for XRD data. What about neuton data and how to solve the problem (time-of-flight data in this case) ?   Thanks, Henry

Dear All, I'm currently doing refinement for a Cs-Zr-Si-O phase using GSAS. While the refinement proceeded stably and the final cycle got converged, the displacement factors (Biso) were negative except for Cs. I tried with two sets of data collected on two diffractometers, and the situations are
