Rietveld refinements of corundum, a rutile and anatase nanocrystalline synt
hetic mixture, and gypsum, on laboratory energy dispersive X-ray diffractio
n (EDXD) data are reported. Cell parameters, positional and displacement pa
rameters are in reasonable agreement with single-crystal reference data, de
spite the rather poor resolution of EDXD data. In particular, good results
were obtained for gypsum (unrestrained refinement) with counting times as s
hort as 1000 s.
