Which one is a better XRD pole figure analysis software - free as well as paid one? One is having in access but still need a better one to do in-depth analysis? Thanks in advance.
I did not know that JADE is capable to analyse textures or pole figures. Doesn't it only considers preferred orientations which affecting the plane multiplicìty in a very simple way? Pole figure analysis is something totally different!
I can only recommend to use the internet first. Attached are a few links I've found in a few seconds. The first address is the ccp14 home page which lists software for many different applications.
The program I am using is MULTex which is based on a very intuitive evaluation of texture components developed by Kurt Helming in Clausthal and now sold by Bruker AXS. The link is attached as well. He is showing there how it works.
The link to the TU Graz (Austria) groups which developed their own code only shows that many people develop software also nowadays, which is fee available. However, I have to point out that I do not know it and only found it on the internet. As I understood, it is free available.
The major problem is mainly the data structure of such programs, since they need to combine several pole figure measurements in order to find out the texture, i.e. described as ODF using e.g. C-coefficients.
The evaluation of textures is quite challenging. I would say it is even more difficult than powder XRD, although there are certainly powder XRD problems which are more difficult to solve. You need a few day or weeks to understand the interacting parameters. Good luck!

I cannot find anything in JADE description which indicates a XRD pole figure analysis. In the attached link the following features of JADE are described.
- Corrections for experimental errors, background and K 2 peaks
- Automated identification of peaks – Integrated and maximum intensity, 2
- Access to ICDD’s Powder Diffraction File (PDF2 or PDF4) database and overlay of
- experimental patterns with those from the database
- Access to the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) and structural data
- contained in that database
- Access to new ICDD data containing structural data
- A variety of printed and digitized data reports in graphical and text formats
- Automated Search/Match of patterns with the ICDD database and manual search
- match with data retrieval by mineral name, chemistry, or unit cell criteria
- Automated Search/Match using whole pattern fitting algorithms (New)
- Pattern simulation from crystal data
- Quantitative analysis by reference intensity ratio (RIR) methods using internal or
- external standard methods (Not included in our version of the software)
- Pattern indexing and unit cell refinements
- Crystallite size and strain analysis, and residual stress analysis.
- 3D crystal modeling based on structural parameters from your experimental data
