Structure refinement the Rietveld method

Since the Rietveld method is a refinement method, it requires a structure suggestion in order to begin the fitting. Therefore, the person conducting the 

5 Other, more recent approaches have been suggested, such as methods based on the entropy maximum [GIL 02], These aspects will not be discussed here. 

6 The Rietveld fittings described here are simple illustrations of the method. As we have already said, the objective in this chapter is to give a few elements on this refinement process which is described in much greater detail in other books. Readers interested in knowing more will find a complete presentation of Rietveld refinements, with every step described in detail, in [PEC 03], 

7 A large number of programs can perform this type of refinement. Many are available at no cost on the international networks. You can find a selection of these programs on a website
