Could anyone kindly explain in brief how to make use of FullProf to find out the JCPDS number and to determine the space group? How can we carry out Rietveld analysis using this software?
JCPDS now is convert to ICDD. The space group and and the structure can be found in the cards matching with your XRD pattern .
Standard crystallographic datas could not be obtained by using FullProf software, but could be found out by other software such as FindIt or on the following website.:http://www.springermaterials.com/navigation/
The Rietveld analysis could not be explained in simple words. You can download the software and corresponding guidelines on the web:

If you mainly work with metals and alloys, the best solution is CRYSTMET database (http://www.tothcanada.com/databases.htm). It is not free (1 year license costs about USD2000) but is indeed very useful. Certainly, you first have to suggest which phases present in your pattern
