EXTRAPOLATION METHOD
For the extrapolation method the lattice parameter, ao, is computed for each line of the
pattern and is plotted against a so called “extrapolation function”.
Extrapolation functions are functions of θ, like cos2 θ, sin2 θ, cos2 θ/sinθ
With the two sets of equations we can find the A and C values.
Once the value of A is found, ao can be calculated.
The constant C is related to the amount of systematic error involved.
Rietveld method
The Rietveld method is more complicated and sometimes difficult to use but, as our
comparative study is about to show, it yields the best results.
The method is a profile fitting technique involving the simulation of the diffraction
pattern, based on a structural model.
The calculated intensities are fitted to the observed intensities, which is achieved by
minimization of the sum of the square.
