Fully automatic calculation which requires no user interaction

• best numerical algorithms specially designed for BGMN which guarantee an extreme numerical stability

• physical based peak model which eliminates the refinement of peak profile parameters (no more refinement of u, v, w)

• automated background refinement

• unlimited number of phases, parameters, measuring points etc.

Automatic correction of strong and multiple preferred orientation with spherical harmonics

• refinement of phyllosilicates with strong preferred orientation

• refinement of feldspars with multiple cleavage

Common model for anisotropic peak broadening

• refinement of crystallite size with 1-2 parameters per phase; 6-7 in anisotropic case

• refinement of microstrain with one parameter per phase; 6 in anisotropic case

Phase analysis of disordered layer silicates by implementation of advanced real structure models (e.g. for kaolinite and chlorites)

• only one model for all chlorites

• succesful description of strong disordered kaolinite

Correction of microabsorption with the Brindley model

• only the mean particle size has to be provided

Easy-to-use model for refinement of site occupancy

• easy formulation for site occupancy refinement

• coupling of site occupancy factors with lattice constants possible

Refinement of amorphous content with an internal standard

Special features for structure investigation and refinement

• built in force field model to ensure optimal distances between the atoms and to guarantee chain concatenation

• structure interpreter language for free definition of new parameters and dependencies between parameters
