Abstract

A program is presented that removes broadening from X-ray diffraction spectra. An instrumental spectrum can be used to describe empirically the broadening to be removed, or a Gaussian, Cauchy, or Pearson-VII distribution can be used to analytically describe it. In either case, singlet or doublet forms can be generated. The program returns the deconvoluted spectrum, the reconstructed spectrum, and a sum-of-squares difference between the original and reconstructed spectra. Deconvolution is accomplished using a combination of least-squares, background, and smoothing criteria that minimizes the effect of random counting errors.
