The program just described, for Rietveld analyses using generalized coordinates, has been used in the structural analysis of isotactic polypropylene recently undertaken both with x-ray and with neutron powder diffraction data. We believe this analysis (Immirzi, in preparation) to be the first Rietveld analysis of a polymer done from x-ray data. Rietveld analyses of polymers from neutron data have been done but, at least in the polyethylene case reported by Willis and co-workers (15), there was no use of generalized coordinates. 

The process of observed intensity estimation for overlapping reflections in the Rietveld analysis is shown schematically in Fig. 3. Suppose we have partially overlapped 1- and 2-reflections as shown in Fig. 3a. Observed structure factors were evaluated by dividing the observed intensities at each data point, Yobs(d)y into the Tlobs(0) and the y2obs(0) based on the calculated contributions of individual reflections, Yicai(0) and Y2ca (6). This evaluation is done by the following Eq. 1 in a modified Rietveld-refinement program as shown in Fig. 3b,...

Rietveld method, has been applied to describe chemical bonding, dynamic disorder, and anharmonic thermal vibration. Computer programs such as Rietan for the Rietveld analysis and PRIMA for the MEM analysis, which incorporate MEM and optimized for powder diffraction are available.

The experimental diffraction data were analyzed by a combined technique involving Rietveld analysis, the maximum entropy method (MEM), and MEM-based pattern fitting (MPF) [10-15]. Rietveld analysis, which is used to refine the crystal structure from the powder diffraction data by a least squares method, was carried out using the RIETAN-2000 program [27], which yields structure factors and their errors after structural refinement. It is known that MEM can be used to obtain a nuclear density distribution map based on neutron structure factors and their errors [5, 6, 8, 10-15, 26-29] any type of complicated nuclear density distribution is allowed so long as it satisfies the symmetry requirements. MEM calculations were carried out using the PRIMA program [29]. To reduce the bias imposed by the simple structural model in the Rietveld refinement, an iterative procedure known as the REMEDY cycle [29] was applied after MEM analysis (Fig. 6.3). In this procedure, structure factors... 

Neutron diffraction patterns of powder samples were taken on a neutron diffractometer (X = 1.085 A) mounted on the thermal column of a WR-SM nuclear reactor [3]. The DBW-3.2 program for the Rietveld neutron diffraction line shape analysis was used in calculations and structure refinement [4]. A DRON-3M X-ray diffractometer (CuK - radiation) was used to measure X-ray powder diffraction patterns.

Most Rietveld software can perform size-strain analysis, even though this may require some manual calculations based on the software output. Some powder diffraction peak profiling programs also provide simple options for size-strain analysis. Table 17.19 gives a miscellaneous non-comprehensive list of programs.
