Abstract:

The program LAUECELL can be used for the indexing of the Laue diffraction pattern. The program is based on the recognition of conics in the Laue pattern by a plane-search algorithm in reciprocal space, after which possible cells are constructed in direct space, and relative cell parameters and the crystal orientation are obtained. These cells, scaled to an arbitrary volume, are refined, reduced, and grouped in order of the frequency of occurrence. After selection of a cell, the pattern can be indexed and refined.
