Two-phase fit: YAlO₃ and Al₂O₃, SPODI

The same staged fit as the Python and Command line tutorials, in the app. Its structure and experiment come from EasyDiffraction's collection with Load ▾ From web…, and each stage frees its parameters in the Parameters table on Analysis before the fit.

Create a project

Press Start on Home, then Create a new project, and give it a name.

Load the structures

On Structure, choose Load ▾ From web…, search for each entry by its id and click it:

  • pd-neut-cwl_yalo3-al2o3-spodi-YAlO3
  • pd-neut-cwl_yalo3-al2o3-spodi-Al2O3

Load the experiment

On Experiment, choose Load ▾ Full experiment From web…, search for each entry by its id and click it:

  • pd-neut-cwl_yalo3-al2o3-spodi-spodi

Set the minimizer

On Analysis → Extra, set the Minimizer as the case's project does: the Shift/s.u. stop rule and room for more iterations.

Start with nothing free

On Analysis, open the Free column header of the Parameters table and fix every parameter, so the stages below free one group at a time.

Start with every parameter fixed

Cells, scales and 2θ zero

Both phases' cells and scales, and the zero shift, put the peaks of both phases in place.

Filter the Cell parameters of YAlO3 and Al2O3, choosing each in the datablock filter using the category filter, the Linked structures parameters of spodi, choosing each in the datablock filter using the category filter and the Instrument parameters with calib in their name of spodi, choosing each in the datablock filter using the category filter and the name filter, click the Free column header and choose Free · all, then press Fit in the status bar.

Fit: Cells, scales and 2θ zero

Background

Choose spodi in the datablock filter, then filter the Background parameters using the category filter, click the Free column header and choose Free · all, then press Fit in the status bar.

Fit: Background

Peak widths

The Gaussian widths and the mixing η₀.

Choose spodi in the datablock filter, then filter the Peak broadening parameters using the category filter and the Peak mixing parameters with eta_0 in their name using the category filter and the name filter, click the Free column header and choose Free · all, then press Fit in the status bar.

Fit: Peak widths

Asymmetry

The four Bérar-Baldinozzi asymmetry terms.

Choose spodi in the datablock filter, then filter the Peak asymmetry parameters using the category filter, click the Free column header and choose Free · all, then press Fit in the status bar.

Fit: Asymmetry

Atom positions

The coordinates the symmetry leaves free in both phases.

Filter the Atomic coordinates parameters of YAlO3 and Al2O3, choosing each in the datablock filter using the category filter, click the Free column header and choose Free · all, then press Fit in the status bar.
