Integrating macromolecular X-ray diffraction data with the graphical user interface iMosflm

X-Light is an open-source software that is written in Python with a graphical user interface. X-Light was developed to determine residual stress by X-ray diffraction. This software can process the 0D, 1D and 2D diffraction data obtained with laboratory diffractometers or synchrotron radiation. X-Light provides several options for stress analysis and five functions to fit a peak: Gauss, Lorentz, Pearson VII, pseudo-Voigt and Voigt. The residual stress is determined by the conventional sin2ψ method and the fundamental method.

Different Levels

EDDIDAT is a MATLAB-based graphical user interface for the convenient and versatile analysis of energy-dispersive diffraction data obtained at laboratory and synchrotron sources. The main focus of EDDIDAT up to now has been on the analysis of residual stresses, but it can also be used to prepare measurement data for subsequent phase analysis or analysis of preferred orientation. The program provides access to the depth-resolved analysis of residual stresses at different levels of approximation. Furthermore, the graphic representation of the results also serves for the consideration of microstructural and texture-related properties. The included material database allows for the quick analysis of the most common materials and is easily extendable. The plots and results produced with EDDIDAT can be exported to graphics and text files. EDDIDAT is designed to analyze diffraction data from various energy-dispersive X-ray sources. Hence it is possible to add new sources and implement the device-specific properties into EDDIDAT. The program is freely available to academic users.

Bragg intensities can be used to analyse crystal size distributions in a method called FXD-CSD, which is based on the fast measurement of many Bragg spots using two-dimensional detectors. This work presents the Python-based software and its graphical user interface FXD-CSD-GUI. The GUI enables user-friendly data handling and processing and provides both graphical and numerical crystal size distribution results.

The d2Dplot computer program provides a set of tools for the visualization, processing and analysis of 2D X-ray diffraction (2DXRD) data. Among the operations available there are the sum/subtraction of 2DXRD images, conversion to 1D data (powder pattern), azimuthal plotting, calibration of instrumental parameters, background subtraction and a command-line mode to run operations inside data processing pipelines. The graphical user interface allows easy use of the program. It also includes two main features: (i) the possibility of creating a user compound database to help in the fast phase identification of similar samples, and (ii) a detailed peak analysis routine for the application of the through-the-substrate microdiffraction methodology.

Pressure Synthesis

AbstractThe mixed cation triel borate Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.5 GPa and 1300°C. Although the product could not be reproduced in further experiments, its crystal structure could be reliably determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (origin choice 2) with the lattice parameters a = 11.382(2), c = 15.244(2) Å, and V = 1974.9(4) Å3. The structure of the quaternary triel borate consists of a complex network of BO4 tetrahedra, edge-sharing InO6 octahedra in dinuclear units, and very dense edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra in tetranuclear units.

AbstractThe crystal structure of the phase Ce5AgxGe4−x (x = 0.1−1.08) has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for Ce5Ag0.1Ge3.9. This phase is isotypic with Sm5Ge4: space group Pnma (No. 62), Pearson code oP36, Z = 4, a = 7.9632(2), b = 15.2693(5), c = 8.0803(2) Å; R1 = 0.0261, wR2 = 0.0460, 1428 F2 values and 48 variables. The two crystallographic positions 8d and 4c show Ge/Ag mixing, leading to a slight increase in the lattice parameters as compared to those of the pure binary compound Ce5Ge4.
