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.

Methods which determine the number and disorder of lattice planes in a crystal from the Fourier cosine coefficients of the intensity profile of an X-ray reflection use only the low harmonics and require that the coefficients be normalized so that the zero harmonic is unity. Experimentally, the profiles can only be recorded over a smaller range of scattering angle than required by the theory, and it is necessary to subtract background, which is likely to be estimated with considerable error, before determining the coefficients. It is shown that with polymer fibres this causes serious errors in the normalization, and in the values of those low harmonics used in the size and disorder determination, and prevents reliable values being obtained. Methods which avoid normalization and use only high harmonics are needed. It is shown that disorder may be obtained in such a way, but not size, for which low-order normalized coefficients are essential. A method of extrapolation is described and tested which enables the accurate high harmonics to be used to improve the estimates of the low ones. Whilst this will yield more reliable values of crystal size than are obtainable from existing methods, the accuracy depends entirely on the validity of the extrapolation, which cannot be tested in many cases of interest.

LauePtis a robust and extremely easy-to-use Windows application for accurately simulating, indexing and analyzing white-beam X-ray diffraction Laue patterns of any crystals under arbitrary diffraction geometry. This program has a user-friendly graphic interface and can be conveniently used by nonspecialists with little X-ray diffraction or crystallography knowledge. Its wide range of applications include (1) determination of single-crystal orientation with the Laue method, (2) white-beam topography, (3) white-beam microdiffraction, (4) X-ray studies of twinning, domains and heterostructures, (5) verification or determination of crystal structures from white-beam diffraction, and (6) teaching of X-ray crystallography.

AbstractCalculations of crystal size distributions in oriented clays (montmorillonite and kaolinite) are carried out utilizing X-ray diffraction data together with a method based on information theory. Two different procedures for dealing with the available data are compared. One of them involves some points of the corresponding spectrum, the other correlates the data by means of their moments.

RaDMaX online is a major update to the previously published RaDMaX (radiation damage in materials analysed with X-ray diffraction) software [Souilah, Boulle & Debelle (2016). J. Appl. Cryst. 49, 311–316]. This program features a user-friendly interface that allows retrieval of strain and disorder depth profiles in irradiated crystals from the simulation of X-ray diffraction data recorded in symmetrical θ/2θ mode. As compared with its predecessor, RaDMaX online has been entirely rewritten in order to be able to run within a simple web browser, therefore avoiding the necessity to install any programming environment on the users' computers. The RaDMaX online web application is written in Python and developed within a Jupyter notebook implementing graphical widgets and interactive plots. RaDMaX online is free and open source and can be accessed on the internet at https://aboulle.github.io/RaDMaX-online/.

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.

Measurement of shearing stresses, τxzand τyz, by X-ray diffraction technique with two-dimensional detector was studied. The principle which was developed for an area detector type X-ray triaxial stress analysis was adopted for this purpose. In the present method, Debye ring was measured first and its whole part was used for determining shearing stresses. One Debye ring is enough to determine shearing stresses without accurate diffraction data such as lattice spacing in stress free. The result of the simulation showed that the present method is useful for the evaluation of shearing stresses by X-ray diffraction technique.
