How to calculate the thermal expansion coefficient of each mineral in a mineral mixture using TOPAS software?

05 May 2018 0 6K Report

I want to get the thermal expansion coefficient of each mineral in a rock using high-tempearture X-ray diffraction (XRD); how can we achieve that using TOPAS software, since there will be peak overlapping during the scan analysis.
