Extract

Two strategies are at present commonly used in studying and refining crystal structures from powder diffraction data: the total pattern refinement proposed by Rietveid (1969) and the two-step method originally proposed and applied by Will (Will et al., 1965). The latter one works by separating-the intensity determination of the individual peaks from the actual structure refinement, structure analysis or any structural calculation (tor example based on line broadening). Both methods have their merits, and their drawbacks.
