Mixture totals can be locked, and text fields allow precise input of the overall composition. Mixture composition can be adjusted in real time, via slider controls in the Mixture group of the Parameters List. Each mixture can have one or more components, which you can add simply by dragging them into the appropriate mixture groups. CrystalDiffract lets you define any number of simulated mixtures in a given diffraction window. Degree of alignment can be continuously varied, with simulation assuming a weighted (constant sample) March-type correction. Choice of sample geometry: platy crystals or needle-like crystals in a capillary. Isotropic, percent strain broadening correction to the peak widths. Isotropic particle size broadening correction to the peak widths. This is a good way of assessing the contribution made by atomic displacement parameters to the overall intensities. You can enable or disable thermal parameters for any site, using a checkbox control in the Parameters List. Toggle Control for Displacement Parameters. Precise site composition can be set using the Zero Occupancies commmand, and then typing in individual values in the Occupany list in the Parameters List. Any number of elements can be assigned to an individual site, to simulate the effect of substitutional disorder: simply use the Add or Remove controls in the Parameters List. Site occupancies can be adjusted in real time, using slider and tet controls in the Parameters Lis. Great for simulating structural distortions and the effects of displacive phase transitions. Adjust cell parameters and cell volume in real time, using slider and text controls in the Parameters List. CrystalDiffract provides complete control over the crystal structure, including spacegroup symmetry, lattice parameters, fractional coordinates of sites in the asymmetric unit, site occupancies (unlimited occupants per site), isotropic and anisotropic atomic displacement parameters ("thermal ellipsoids"). In "Film" mode, you can also simulate the photographic film response, by adjusting the film's gamma parameter in real time.įull Crystal Structure.
Intensities can be displayed on either a linear (default) or logarithmic scale. The background can be toggled on or off at any time. Users can specify a background function by editing control points in an easy and intuitive manner.
