Calcium Iron Silicate:PDF Entry 04-007-0081

EBSD Pattern EBSD patterns are electron diffraction simulations based on algorithms originally developed by R.P. Goehner and J.R. Michael [1]. These patterns are useful in confirming phase identity, crystallite orientation, and crystalline symmetry. The Kikuchi line positions are determined kinematically using unit cell parameters and space group extinction conditions associated with the PDF entry.

EBSD Extension • Designed to plot K-patterns (Kikuchi & Kossel patterns) • Toggle between gnomonic projection and stereographic projection • For Kossel patterns, up to three Kα1-wavelengths of elements in the chemical formula are used

3D structureThe 3D Structure shows the three-dimensional representations of molecular structures. Click the play button to see the structure in 360 degrees.

Simulated Profile The Simulated Profile shows the one-dimensional representation of powder diffraction patterns using an interactive graph. This graph is displayed in multiple places throughout the program and the available settings can change due to the context of the current graph.

SAED Extension • Simulation of freely rotatable SAED patterns from Structures • Import images and apply image processing options • Synchronized Structure Display and Stereographic Projection • Searchable Reflection List with Absences • Measurement Tools: Scalebar, Ruler, Protractor, Indexing Grid • Measure Distances and Angles of clicked spots

SAED Pattern SAED patterns are electron diffraction simulations based on algorithms originally developed by R.P. Goehner and J.R. Michael [1]. These patterns are useful in confirming phase identity, crystallite orientation, and crystalline symmetry. The spots are determined kinematically using unit cell parameters and space group extinction conditions associated with the PDF entry.

Ring Pattern Ring patterns provides a two-dimensional (2D) simulation of the diffraction pattern for a given phase as it would appear on a flat 2D detector such as photographic film, phosphor image plates, or solid-state arrays. The simulation assumes uniaxial positioning of the detector (transmission geometry with incident beam centered) and an infinite number of randomly oriented crystallites.
