Advanced Input Files & Parametric Quantitative Analysis Using Topas

Article Preview

Abstract:

Topas is a powerful and flexible software suite for the analysis of powder diffraction (and other) data. In this paper we describe methods to interact with the software in efficient and customisable ways. We also provide brief details of a wiki site for sharing ideas and methods for this software (topas.dur.ac.uk). Finally we give an overview of the potential advantages of parametric refinement methods within Topas and exemplify them with a quantitative analysis study of the phase transitions in WO3.
