The Rietveld Method is a refinement technique, not a

structure solution method. A good starting model is required!

Page 8: An Introduction to the Rietveld Method › workshops › 08 › Introduction to Rietveld 1.pdf · The Rietveld Method is a refinement technique, not a structure solution method. A

How good is good?

• All atoms within 0.5-0.6 Å of their true positions, but…

• x% of the total scattering power

Page 9: An Introduction to the Rietveld Method › workshops › 08 › Introduction to Rietveld 1.pdf · The Rietveld Method is a refinement technique, not a structure solution method. A

How do you get the model?

• Powder Diffraction File (PDF/LPF)• Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD)• Metals Data File (CRYSTMET)• Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)• (Protein Data Bank) (PDB)• Crystal Data Identification File (CDIF)• Primary literature• ab initio structure determination

Page 12: An Introduction to the Rietveld Method › workshops › 08 › Introduction to Rietveld 1.pdf · The Rietveld Method is a refinement technique, not a structure solution method. A

To get accurate results, we must model all these quantities correctly!

The advantage of the Rietveld method is that it uses all the

information in the powder pattern, and yields the most information.

Page 13: An Introduction to the Rietveld Method › workshops › 08 › Introduction to Rietveld 1.pdf · The Rietveld Method is a refinement technique, not a structure solution method. A

We need to remember that we are fitting a model to data, and that

our answers will only be as good as the model is appropriate.

Page 14: An Introduction to the Rietveld Method › workshops › 08 › Introduction to Rietveld 1.pdf · The Rietveld Method is a refinement technique, not a structure solution method. A

Two StepsPreparation and Refinement

In some programs (like GSAS) these two steps are separate,and in others, they are combined into a single operation.

Page 15: An Introduction to the Rietveld Method › workshops › 08 › Introduction to Rietveld 1.pdf · The Rietveld Method is a refinement technique, not a structure solution method. A

The Sample

• Need a powder, but…• Random is best, but…• Resolution – more is better, but can generate

size/strain by trying to get powder• Phase purity• An advantage of the Rietveld method is that

ideal samples are rare, and the method provides a way of dealing with real samples

Page 16: An Introduction to the Rietveld Method › workshops › 08 › Introduction to Rietveld 1.pdf · The Rietveld Method is a refinement technique, not a structure solution method. A

The Instrument

• Alignment/systematic errors • (zero, shift, trns)• Wavelength(s)• Profile function

Page 17: An Introduction to the Rietveld Method › workshops › 08 › Introduction to Rietveld 1.pdf · The Rietveld Method is a refinement technique, not a structure solution method. A

Data Collection• Compromises!• Fixed step sizes (but “new” GSAS format)• Wide 2θ range• ≥ 5 steps across FWHM of sharpest peaks• Constant or variable counting time• Step or continuous scan• ~10,000 counts for strongest peaks• Programs assume fixed slits!

Page 18: An Introduction to the Rietveld Method › workshops › 08 › Introduction to Rietveld 1.pdf · The Rietveld Method is a refinement technique, not a structure solution method. A

Background

• Crucial to get right – affects integrated intensities (and thus the structure) – especially the displacement coefficients

• Interacts with the profile function• Peak tails• Use a few parameters as possible• Crystalline sample – slowly varying• Background parameters are highly-correlated

At the end of refinement

• χ2 < 1: the σ(yoi) are wrong• χ2 = 1: the errors are dominated by statistics• χ2 > 1:

– The model is reasonable, but the σs are underestimated

– The model contains systematic errors– The model is wrong
