Abstract

Search/match of XRD patterns of pure phases can prove useful for verifying the internal consistency of search algorithms. An additional benefit is to check whether there are other materials giving similar powder patterns. If displacements and/or distortions are applied to the input patterns, such trials become a convenient way to estimate the program's tolerance to 2θ errors.

This study has been performed on a set of 70 diffraction patterns from pure phases prepared by the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) for another purpose. Three search runs were performed on the background corrected full patterns, each time with the default parameters, and on the complete database (59,990 potential candidates): the first run without applying an offset, secondly with +0.20° 2θ offset and thirdly with -0.20°.

The results show that a +/- 0.20° error is still acceptable for non-ambiguous identification of pure phases.
