Analysis of the Powder Diffraction File

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6699433· OSTI ID:6699433
The International Centre for Powder Diffraction Data has compiled an extensive powder diffraction database available on magnetic tape. The database was evaluated to determine the type and quality of the information it contains, including an analysis of d-I pairs per pattern, symmetry, quality marks, Q values, and intensities for subfiles of known crystal class. In addition, nine functions were evaluated to assess pattern quality for cubic and triclinic data. This document presents a minimum amount of data analysis, but concentrates on the distribution and statistics. It also describes how these data were obtained.
