Abstract

The peak profile shape analysis has been preferentially used in the evaluation of X-ray and synchrotron powder diffraction pattern. However, neutron diffraction facilities of new generation frequently offer the instrumental resolution high enough to efficiently study the effects of broadening of neutron diffraction profiles. The present paper describes the procedure for a detailed evaluation of Bragg peak shape based on the method of transformed model fitting (TMF) which has been recently developed particularly for the treatment of neutron diffraction profiles. Microstructure modeling is performed in the reciprocal space and the convolution of the model with the instrumental resolution curve is fitted to the profiles recorded in the diffraction experiment.
