Create Ikeda Carpenter Parameters¶
Example of how a parameter can be determined on a beamline¶
The steps involved in creating instrument specific parameters for the Ikeda-Carpenter-Pseudo-Voigt peak shape function are on ISIS/GEM approximately as follows:
- Run calibration samples: NIST standard Silicon and Y2O3. 
- Combined rietveld refined of these two standards in either Fullprof or GSAS 
- All structural parameters are fixed but not the Ikeda Carpenter parameters and background parameters (and zero shifts). On GEM, the Ikeda-Carpenter parameters are the same for all banks but the Pseudo-Voigt sigma and gamma parameters which are refined differently for the different banks. 
- Finally the information from this refinement is copied and pasted from output files to generate either a Fullprof or GSAS instrument parameter files.
