Apart from the apparent manipulation of the x-ray refinement, many aspects
of the original article should have aroused suspicion. Any long paper with
66 citations should be returned for revision.
The paper claims to optimise the heating of magnetic nanoparticles

Dear Rietveld users
I have some data collected on a synchrotron line on reflection mode.
The sample is an ancient steel (Fe alpha + Fe3C). The aim is to analyzed
Fe/Fe3C in order to get the carbon content.
The total scattering volume is obviously not constant with 2 theta.
We can observe an
Hi Francois
Reflection mode at a synchrotron? Does that mean you have the beam coming
in at a fixed angle with respect to the specimen, and then collecting all
the angles?
Because of the change in specimen volume with angle, you need to modify the
calculated intensities, as most (all?) Rietveld p
