Title: Development of the DIFFRACALC program for analyzing the phase composition of alloys

Abstract

The DiffraCalc software package is developed for automatic indexing of electron diffraction patterns. The program can operate with the existing base of X-ray diffraction data, containing information about the crystal structures of more than 100 thousands of materials. This information has been extracted from open sources. A compatibility with standard crystallographic files is implemented. In the indexing mode, the program automatically analyzes an experimental diffraction pattern, implementing a search for an appropriate phase from the list compiled by a user proceeding from the crystallographic database. The indexing mode algorithm is constructed using the method of pair reflections. In the simulation mode, the program calculates the electron diffraction pattern for a specified material, which is an additional way to verify the indexing results.
