Its best to use the terms axial plane and horizontal plane to avoid confusion. Alan, I'm confused! What do you mean by those terms? I thought "axial divergence" was "beam hits different points along the two theta axis" - is that a misconception? Last point, what do you mean by vertical diver

I did some tests on the profile of the first diffraction peak of LaB6, where I added a secondary soller angle, since I used secondary soller slits, and I added also the parameter for the horizontal divergence in the equitorial plane. Finally I added a crystallite-size parameter CS_L. I did the

Arie, Bob Cheary developed the required description/equations for the use of a psd. But I don't know that they have been implemented in any of the available FPA codes, except perhaps Topas in launch mode. Alan??? Are you listening? Regards, Jim At 06:48 AM 5/2/2005, you wrote: Dear colleagues,

Dear colleagues, Is there anybody who has experience with describing peak shapes using the fundamental parameters approach for a typical X'pert-pro diffractometer setup with an X'celerator detector (fixed incident slits, 0.02 rad sollers, no monochromator)? Thanks in advance, Arie
