Commonly Used XRD Spectral Analysis Software

There are four commonly used XRD analysis software:

1.pcpdfwin Some people think it is the most primitive. It is after the diffraction pattern calibration, according to the d value retrieval. Generally there can be limited elements, according to the three strong line, combined method and other methods. The card retrieved is most often incorrect. A complex diffraction spectrum sometimes can't be solved in a day.

2. search match can realize the direct connection with the original experimental data, and can automatically or manually calibrate the position of the diffraction peaks, which is good for general graphs. And there are several small tools are very convenient to use. Such as zoom function, cross positioning line, coordinate indication button, grid lines and so on. The most important thing is that it has an automatic retrieval function. It can help you easily retrieve the object phase you are looking for. Various qualifications can also be made to narrow down the search. If you are more familiar with your material, it will take only 3 minutes to retrieve a map containing 4 or 5 phases. It is very efficient. And it also has the function of automatically generating the experimental report!

3.High Score Almost all the functions in search match, highscore have, and it is more practical than searchmatch.

(1) it can call more data formats.

(2) The window setting is more humanized, users can choose by themselves.

(3) The display of spectral line positions allows you to see the retrieval more directly

(4) It is more convenient to add or subtract peaks manually.

(5) You can do smoothing and other operations on the diffraction diagram, which is a more beautiful diagram.

(6) You can change the parameters such as step size and starting angle of the original data.

(7) It is possible to correct the 0 point.

(8) The shape of the peaks can be corrected.

(9) Semi-quantitative analysis is possible.

(10) Physical phase searching is more convenient with more searching methods.

(11) It is possible to write batch commands for the same series of diffractograms with one click.

4. jade and highscore are fewer and worse than the automatic search function, but it has more functions than it.

(1) It can carry out the indexing of diffraction peaks.

(2) Calculation of lattice parameters.

(3) Correct the lattice parameters according to the specimen.

(4) It is easy to calculate the area and center of mass of the peaks.

(5) It is more convenient to produce graphs, and you can edit the graphs more freely.
