JOINT TEXTURE REFINEMENT

Correction for preferred orientation of crystallites using simple empi rical functions has been extended for structure analysis of strongly t extured materials by the method called joint texture refinement. The m ethod is based on simultaneous fitting of calculated intensities to th e whole set of intensities measured at several sample inclinations. Th in films of zinc and a powder sample of brucite have been used as test ing materials with a modified version of the program POWLS.
