I have synthesized the Bi4Ti3O12-CaCu3Ti4O12 composite powder by sol-gel method. Bi4Ti3O12 is belongs to the orthorhombic crustal structure with Fmmm space group while CaCu3Ti4O12 belongs to the cubic structure with Im3 space group. Is there is any possible to refined the above said composites using Full-proof refinements software. If yes, Please suggest me to do this refinements.
You can refine the multiple phases by Fullprof:
1.First you should upload your xy file(exp) in winPLOTR and go to point selection-Automatic backgroung.
2. Go to EDPCR and select your Cif file of first phase in Cif to Pcr and save as XXX.pcr
3. again go to EDPCR and Select another cif file of second phase in cif to pcr and save as XXY.pcr
4.In this step open the xxy.pcr file and copy from below zero code and paste in xxx.pcr file after this line.
! Pref1 Pref2 Asy1 Asy2 Asy3 Asy4
0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000
0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
5. then change the nph into 2 .(number of phases 2)
I am attaching all the cif file of both the compounds may be it will help you,,
The below youtube links are about two-phase structural refinement of Powder X-ray diffraction data using FulProf Suite Software. These videos are for beginners and present one of the easiest way to do two-phase structural refinement using FullProf Suite. Highlighting the Steps involved in two-phase crystal structure refinement.
