Extract

The use of the computer controlled powder diffractometer for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of multi phase powder mixtures is becoming relatively common place, and we ourselves have described in some detail the hardware and software components of typical systems 1,2) of which the AFD 3600 is the latest version 3). Although great success has been achieved in the use of the minicomputer for machine control, data acquisition and display, plus some degree of data workup, less success has been gained in search/matching of unknown powder patterns, although computer programs have been available for a number of years which utilize relatively large computers for automatic search/matching e.g. 4,5) the success with which these programs have been applied has been somewhat disappointing. Much of the difficulty arises from the marginal quality of data in the JCPDS index and from uncertainties in the accuracy of the experimental patterns.
