Adding a little bit to the previous answers,
aside from using neutron diffraction, on can also use anomalous
diffraction close to the absorption edge of the respective chemical
elements. This requires a synchrotron source in most cases (unless one
happens to have just the right exotic X-ray tu
Hello,
the term "raw data" has become kind of fuzzy in recent times. Most
powder diffractometers nowadays are equipped with some kind of linear or
area detector. The 1D powder pattern in this case is always the result
of some integration, merging, and binning.
I would take "raw" to mean that
