I think the reference code of the material deleted by mistake you should reinstall the machine software again.

Hi Mahmood H. M. ,

Thanks for your response! I tried reinstalling the software but when I go to run the analysis and error appears that says the program has been interrupted and it does not produce any results.

I am initially attempting to refine the scale in pattern 1 and pattern 2 for the SiC phase. Should I attempt to refine a different parameter instead? Is there an important step when adding pattern 2 that could affect the .pcr that I might be missing? Is there a way to check that the reference code is not deleted before I run the analysis?

Dear Alexandra,

First you confirm from the operator/provider of the X-ray diffractometer about the presence of Cu Kbeta radiation. According to me every diffractometer has a filter to filter the Kbeta or Kalpa2 radiation. I saw your pcr file for refinement and suggest you to perform Le-Bail fit before going to Rietveld refinement (one by one phase). In FullProf Suite, there are only option for entering two radiation wavelength.

I hope you will understand the points.

dear alexandra;

The best way to know how to start is to find the nearest result similar to your material and then try not to change the scale to make a good comparison. about the card entry i think better to contact with the supplier of your device to check its condition and approve the existing of the code.
