Let me pontificate a bit on restraints and on R-free etc.
The problem with powder diffraction measurements is that they often leave us
information-starved. We just don't get enough data to investigate what we want
to learn from the experiment, along with all the things we [think we] already

This is true only when there is no Gaussian strain present.

I will wade in on this topic quickly.
Rigid body constraints can be used for two linked bodies pretty easily
-- what one does is define the origin of each body as an atom that
shared between each body (note that this atom needs to be present in
the atom list twice, so adjust occupancies to tota
I should think about doing something -- what makes most sense CMPR,
EXPGUI, GSAS2CIF or pdCIFplot? I tend to think CIF is the most
important with the Acta's now asking for powder CIFs. What to you think?
BTW, at least for me, invited talks matter and other talks don't. As
part of my goal of se
In GSAS, spins can be plotted as VRML 1.0 files with VRSTPLOT
For use with any crystallographic software, the DRAWxtl program
(http://www.lwfinger.net/drawxtl/ ) can also plot spins and offers
output in openGL, VRML and as POVRAY input -- for extremely high
quality graphics. The next release of
your data are free format with intensities as a real variable. Using
excel or any equivalent you can convert in integer intensities (e.g.
multiplying by ten to avoid errors with low values) which is the usual
data input ("counts").
Step 2 is then to convert the free 2th-I (real-integer) file into G

Dear Milinda,
I have added you to my mailing list for information about EXPGUI (the GSAS user interface). When I have time, I make updates and send out mail to that list. If you have questions, you likely want to join the Rietveld mail server, where people have discussions on the technique and so
The short answer here is read the code that does this, which I have not done
anytime recently.
What I recall is the unit cell composition is simply the sum of site
multiplicities times the fractional occupancy for each site grouped by atom
type.
The way I come up with z is something of a klu
