Peak correction

Clicking on the bottom "Open xrd sample", the user can open an observed profile file, and clicking on "Open xrd instrument" is possible to open an instrumental profile file. Both files must be in a format containing 2θ and count data.

In the first plot window, press the left mouse button and drag to select the peaks of interest. The second plot window will show the zoomed selected peaks and the third plot window will show the peaks centered.

Clicking on “Peak correction”, PCrystalX will apply the integral-breadth (β) method and a Pseudo-Voigt function fit to perform the instrumental correction, in other words, to obtain just the specimens contribution (real peak).

Clicking on “Save real peak”, the user can save the real peak in the software memory. All peaks saved can be used in the PCrystalX Warren-Averbach method.
