Abstract

The affect of several aberrations on the figures of merit, FOM, used in the identification analysis of diffraction patterns has been examined by generating simulated diffraction traces with mathematically induced errors. Patterns of mixtures with random 20 shifts, intensity variations, and profile broadening were generated for analysis by MATCHDB, and the behavior of three FOMs during the search step was followed. The results have shown that the angle errors are the most serious in degrading the potential for identification of the phases in the mixtures. Intensity errors cause some degradation on the results. Broadening has little affect when using whole-pattern matching methods.
