| Popis: | A straightforward intuitive user-friendly compact graphical interface, PreDICT (Premier DICVOL Tool) has been developed to take full advantage of the new capabilities of the most recent version of the DICVOL14 Indexing Software. The latter, an updated version of DICVOL04, includes optimizations, e.g. for monoclinic and triclinic cases, a detailed review of the input data from the indexing solutions, cell centering tests, as well as the handling of a moderate number of impurity peaks. Among the most salient features of PreDICT, one can mention the ability (1) to use 2θnon-equistepped input 1D X-ray powder diffraction patterns as can be obtained from 2D detectors, (2) to strip laboratory data from itsKα2contribution when present, (3) to generate 2θequistepped output 1D X-ray powder diffraction patterns in both the “.XY” and “.GSA” formats. In addition, PreDICT allows for the following features: (1) full access to the native DICVOL14 input/output ASCII file system is retained, (2) for any selection of a DICVOL14 suggested unit cell, all predicted Bragg peaks up to a certain 2θMAXvalue are clearly displayed and indicated, thereby emphasizing the contribution of the unaccounted peaks (if any) to the 1D X-ray powder diffraction pattern under current investigation. |
