Why do we need Reitvel refinement for XRD data analysis?

Why do we need Reitvel refinement only for powder samples? Can it be used for 1.5 micrometer thick polycrystalline film? If it is necessary for thin films, what information can I extract from it?

Enamul Haque

Dear Dinesh Kumar,

I have read the paper. All results are excellent. But I am confused about the transition temperature of 320 K. How it could be possible? All the figures are not high quality and clear. I think something may be wrong in the measurement. Or if true, author should provide more information about the measurement.

Bartlomiej Andrzejewski

Usually these reports concern so called USO (Unidentified Superconducting Objects). Probably it is fake news.

Sincerely yours,

Bartek

Dr Azeez Barzinjy

This paper is OK. All results are excellent. But I am also confused about the transition temperature of 320 K and the quality of presentation is no good.

José A. Riera

Could you provide the reference of that paper?

This paper has to confront peer reviewers and the results have to be reproduced by independents groups before being taken seriously. In my opinion it is highly unlikely that a gold-silver mixture could be superconducting above temperature of few kelvins.
