XRD

X-ray diffraction calculations.

This branch is initally planned for my Computational Physics class in 2017 fall

Currently, there are four classes,

  • Element
  • crystal
  • cif
  • XRD

One could load the crystal from

  • dictionary
  • POSCAR
  • CIF file

To perform XRD calculation, one needs to provide the following info

  • crystal structure
  • wavelength (default is Cu-Ka: 1.54184 Å)
  • maximum 2θ value (defult: 180°)

The atomic scattering factor is calculated from 9-parameter equation by Don Cromer and J. Mann.

More detailed usage could be found in the jupyter notebook.

usage

$ python XRD.py -h
Usage: XRD.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -m hkl index, --hkl=hkl index
                        show hkl_index info, e.g., [1,0,0]
  -a angle, --angle=angle
                        2theta angle range, default=180
  -t files, --transform=files
                        export file in different format
  -p plot, --plot=plot  plot pxrd, default: yes
  -w wave, --wavelength=wave
                        wavelength: 1.54184
  -c crystal, --crystal=crystal
                        crystal from file, cif or poscar, REQUIRED
  -f full, --full=full  show full hkl reflections
  -i intensity, --intensity=intensity
                        the minimum intensity to show, default 0.01

execute

one just needs to run the followings,

$ python XRD.py -c NaCl.cif
