Special "New" Methods

Last update : February 2003

This list is largely uncomplete since indexation, structure factors extraction, direct and Patterson methods, refinement by the Rietveld method... are part of the whole process. Some of the following publications may contain tests on previously known structures. Some methods proposing an alternative to equipartition at the stage of structure factors extraction, Monte Carlo, model building approaches, etc, are listed. New methods for single crystals which could be soon translated into methods for powders are also partly listed. The classification is questionable, since "global optimization", "direct space", "simulated annealing", etc may be the subject of a same unique paper. Anyway, here is the list !

Structure of nanocrystalline anatase solved and refined from electron powder data
ACTA-CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA-SECTION-A. JUL 2002; 58 Part 4 : 308-315
Energy-filtered Debye-Scherrer electron powder data have been successfully employed to determine the structure of nanocrystalline anatase (TiO2). The performed structure analysis includes determining the unit cell, space group, solving the structure via direct methods from extracted intensities and refining the structure using the Rietveld technique. The result of the present study shows that the methods originally developed for determining structures from X-ray powder data work equally well with data from electron powder diffraction.
