  • Methods extracting fast all the peak intensities from a complete powder diffraction pattern are reviewed. The genesis of the modern whole powder pattern decomposition methods (the so-called Pawley and Le Bail methods) is detailed and their importance and domains of application are decoded from the most cited papers citing them. It is concluded that these methods represented a decisive step toward the possibility to solve more easily, if not routinely, a structure solely from a powder sample. The review enlightens the contributions from the Louër’s group during the rising years 1987–1993.
