Systematic crystallographic refinement of triclinic unit cells

摘要

Combining the exhaustive indexing of triclinic powder diffraction patterns with a crystallographic determination of unit cell parameters from pinacoid and prism reflections yields unit cell parameters with realistic limits of error. Additionally a referee method has been developed by which the six reciprocal cell parameters of a triclinic phase are determined by solving an exhaustive set of linear simultaneous equations in six unknowns.
