Indexing program **************** INDEX ***** You have to run a separate program index and have an input file called index.dat in the SAME directory. File index.dat ************** sample LiNbO3 5.148 5.148 13.863 90.0 90.0 120.0 1.180 4.5 a,b,c,alpha,beta,gamma,wl,max-deviation in deg (use values around 2-5 degrees) 27.41 12.13 89.41 350.00 1.1 612 2-theta,omega,chi,phi, max. delta 2-theta (approx. 0.5-1 deg), comments (numbers only) 63.97 1.29 90.63 350 1.1 603 32.997 17.31 180.45 151.50 1.1 623 18.997 9.06 178.92 200.76 1.1 628 0 0= end of file execution: index >! index.lis (executes using index.dat as input, asks for number of reflections) 4 ****************** The file index.lis gives you first the possible indexation of all the reflections (if delta 2-theta is small, this number is small). In a second step, the program prints at the end all combinations of hkl's, which are within the limit you have given (max-deviation, in our example 4.5). The program does not taken into account extinction rules such as 00h only h=4. Therefore check, if the combinations is allowed in your spacegroup. J. Schefer 2.2.2010
