PROGRAM POWDER

To calculate the positions and intensities of the lines in a
powder diagram

Description:

POWDER reads a crystal data file and, using a wavelength given interactively, calculates the angles 2\$\theta\$, at which reflections will occur. For each reflection the square of the structure factor, the multiplicity, the factor relating Fsq to intensity, and the intensity of the corresponding powder line are tabulated.

Input:

The crystal data file must contain:
S card (s) giving the space group symmetry (note that a single card saying "S GRUP n" card should suffice n is the space group number)
A C card with the cell dimensions
A cards with the atomic positions
F cards with the form factors or scattering lengths

Output:

A listing file: powder.lis which reports how the crystal data file was interpreted and gives the results of the calculation. The results columns are headed:
h k l: for the reflection indices 2theta: for the scattering angle
Fsqrd: for the square of the structure factor
Mult: for the multiplicity of the powder line
Factor: gives the factor by which the intensity should be
multiplied to get Fsqrd. (\$\sin\theta\sin2\theta/m\$)

Intensity: The expected intensity of the powder line

The format of the results file, if one is requested is (3I5,F10.4,2f10.2) and contains hkl, 2\$\theta\$, Intensity, Factor, for each reflection.

Running the program:

On running the program the user is asked for the name of the crystal data data file, the wavelength, the maximum and optionally the minimum 2\$\theta\$ for which results are required; also whether the results should be written to a file, if so the name of the file is requested.
