Anomalous scattering factor and Dispersion coefficients

Dear Rietvelders, I am little confused about the term "Anomalous scattering factor" and "Dispersion coefficients". "Anomalous scattering factor" can be found here http://skuld.bmsc.washington.edu/scatter/AS_form.html "Dispersion coefficients" can be found here http://www.cxro.lbl.gov/optical_c

Hi Apu, Your peak looks super-Lorentzian. Super-Lorentzian peak can be due to bimodal distribution (Young, R. A. & Sakthivel, A. (1988). J. Appl. Crystallogr.21, 416-425.) or wide Lognormal distribution (Popa, N. C. & Balzar, D. (2002). J. Appl. Crystallogr.35, 338–346.). In the latter case, P

Hi Nelson, The X-ray atomic form factor has a propotion which changes with wavelegnth. So do not apply the relative intensities in Cu radiation in the NIST Certificate on your mearement in Co radiation. Even you simulate a corundum pattern from a Rietveld code under Co radiation, it will be dif

Hi Nelson, The very fact you see these two options means the software you are using does not provide deserved separated treatments for converting Ka1 and Ka2 lines. It is, most likely, simply applying Bragg's law to convert the 2theta axis only, which assumes Ka2 lines are from separate d-spaci
