Abstract

A modified method for polynomial smoothing and the calculation of derivatives of equally spaced step scan powder diffraction data is presented. The algorithm takes the angular dependence of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of diffraction peaks into account, is very effective, and easy to code.
