Description

The purpose of this algorithm is to provide users a tool to control the workflow to refine powder diffractometer’s peak profile. For Time-Of-Flight powder diffractometers in SNS, back-to-back exponential convoluted with pseudo-voigt profile functions are used. The function is complicated with strong correlated parameters. Thus, the refinement on these parameters contains multiple steps, within each of which only a subset of profile parameters are refined.

In order to control the workflow, there are four major functions supported by this algorithm

Setup  : set up a few workspaces that will be used to refine profile parameters in multiple steps;

Refine  : select a subset of peak parameters and do Le Bail fit on them;

Save  : save the current refinement status and refinement history to a project file;

Load  : set up a few workspaces used for refining by loading them from a previously created project file.

Input and output workspaces

- InputWorkspace : data workspace containing the diffraction pattern to refine profile parameters with;

- SeqControlInfoWorkspace : table workspace used to track refinement. Below is the introduction on the fields/columns of this workspace.

  • Step : refinement step. User can start a refinement from the result of any previous step;

  • OutProfile : name of the table workspace containing refined profile parameters;

  • OutReflection : name of the table workspace containing Bragg peaks’ peak parameters calculated from refined parameters value;

  • OutBackgroud : name of the table workspace containing the value of the output background parameter;

  • OutBckgroundParam : name of the output background parameters;

  • Refine : profile parameters that are refined in this step;

  • RwpOut : output Rwp from refinement;

  • LastStep : last step where this step is based on;

  • RwpIn : input Rwp

  • InProfile : input profile parameter workspace’s name;

  • InReflection : input Bragg peak parameters workspace’ name;

  • InBackgroud : input background workspace;

- InputProfileWorkspace : table workspace contraining starting values of profile parameters;

- InputBraggPeaksWorkspace : table workspace containing the Bragg peaks’ information for Le Bail fit;

- InputBackgroundParameterWorkspace : table workspace containing the background parameters’ value

Supported peak profiles

- Neutron Back-to-back exponential convoluted with pseudo-voigt : Fullprof profile 9 and GSAS TOF profile 3;

- Thermal neutron Back-to-back exponential convoluted with pseudo-voigt: Fullprof profile 10 (a.k.a. Jason Hodges function).

Supported background types

- Polynomial

- Chebyshev

- FullprofPolynomial

Hint for using

This is just a brief description for how to use this algorithm.

  1. Setup;

  2. Refine: refine Dtt1 and Zero from step 0;

  3. Refine : reifne Alph0  and  Beta0  from step 1;

  4. Refine : refine Alph1  from step 1 with failure;

  5. Refine : refine Beta1  from step 1 because step 2 fails;

  6. Refine : refine Sig-1  from last step;

  7. Save : save current work and history to a Nexus file.
