Abstract

A new, convenient program has been designed and implemented on a VAX computer to facilitate the use of the Johnson/Vand program (Version 21) for identifying components in crystalline mixtures by X-ray diffraction. (The data base of references is distributed solely by the JCPDS – International Centre for Diffraction Data.) This new program uses an easy-to-follow conversational mode of communication for setting up the input file for the identification program from a remote terminal. The program is menu driven with screens for input of sample information, for change of default computational parameters, and for handling the experimental diffraction data. Many of the input screens can be readily bypassed when the default parameters are acceptable. An editor feature is provided for viewing the final input file and for correcting the diffraction data.
