 +
 +**[//a// E] [//b// E] [//c// E] [//al// E] [//be// E] [//ga// E]**
 +
 +Lattice parameters in Angstroms and lattice angles in degrees.
 +
 +**[//adps//] [//u11// E] [//u22// E] [//u33// E] [//u12// E] [//u13// E] [//u23// E]**
 +
 +//adps// when used generates the //unn// atomic displacement parameters with considerations made for special positions. On termination of refinement the //adps// keyword is replaced with the //unn// parameters; see example AE1-ADPS.INP. Instead of using the //adps// keyword the //unn// parameters can be manually entered.
 +
 +The //unn// matrix can be kept positive definite with the site dependent macro ADPs_Keep_PD; this can stabilize refinement.  The ADPs_Keep_PD macro can be used after the //unn// parameters are created.
 +
 +**[//amorphous_phase//]**
 +
 +Signals that the associated phase is amorphous when calculating //degree_of_crystallinity//.
 +
 +** [//A_matrix//][//C_matrix//][//A_matrix_normalized//][//C_matrix_normalized//]**
 +
 +Generates the un-normalized and normalized A and correlation matrices. If //do_errors// is defined then //C_matrix_normalized// is automatically generated and appeneded to the OUT file.
 +
 +**[//append_cartesian//] [//append_fractional// [//in_str_format//] ]**
 +
 +Appends site fractional coordinates in Cartesian or fractional coordinates respectively to the *.OUT file at the end of a refinement. For the case of //append_fractional//, the //in_str_format// keyword formats the output in INP format.
 +
 +**[//append_bond_lengths// [//consider_lattice_parameters//] ]**
 +
 +Appends bond lengths to the end of the *.OUT file at the end of refinement. A number corresponding to equivalent positions is appended to site names.
 +
 +//consider_lattice_parameters// includes the effects of lattice parameter errors in the calculation of bond length and bond angle errors.
 +
 +An example of bond lengths output is as follows:
 +
 +Y1:0    O1:0    2.23143
 +
 +        O2:0    2.23143    88.083
 +
 +        O3:0    2.28045    109.799    99.928
 +
 +The first line gives the distance between the sites Y1 and O2. The first number in the second line gives the distance between sites Y1 and O2. The third number of 88.083 gives the angle between the vectors Y1 to O1 and Y1 to O2. The first number on the third line contains the distance between sites Y1 and O3. The second number in the third line contains the angle between the vectors Y1 to O3 and Y1 to O2. The third number in line three contains the angle between the vectors Y1 to O3 and Y1 to O1. Thus bond lengths correspond to the first number in each line and bond angles start from the second number. The numbers after the site name and after the ‘:’ character corresponds to the site equivalent position as found in the *.SG space group files found in the SG directory

 +
 +See section 5.2 for a description of //approximate_A//.
 +
 +//A_matrix_memory_allowed_in_Mbytes// limits the memory used by the **A** matrix to a maximum of //A_matrix_memory_allowed_in_Mbytes//. If the matrix requires less than //A_matrix_memory_allowed_in_Mbytes// then the full matrix is used otherwise the matrix is treated as a sparse matrix.
 +
 +//A_matrix_elements_tollerance// removes elements in the **A** matrix with values less than //A_matrix_elements_tollerance.// The comparison is made againts normalized elements of **A** such that the diagonals have a values of 1.  The **A** matrix is made sparse when //A_matrix_elements_tollerance// is defined. Typical values of //A_matrix_memory_allowed_in_Mbytes// range from 0.0001 to 0.01.
 +
 +//A_matrix_memory_allowed_in_Mbytes// and //A_matrix_elements_tollerance// can be used simultanuously.
 +
 +//A_matrix_report_on// displays the percentage of non-zero elements in the **A** matrix.

 +
 +**[//ai_radius//  !E]**
 +
 +**[//ai_exclude_eq_0//]**
 +
 +**[//ai_only_eq_0//]**
 +
 +Defines an atomic interaction with the name N between [[#k142|sites identified]] by $site_1 and $site_2. For //atomic_interaction// E is the site interaction equation that can be a function of R and Ri. R returns the distance in Å between two atoms; these distances are updated when dependent fractional atomic coordinates are modified. The name of the //atomic_interaction// N can be used in equations and in particular penalty equations.
 +
 +For //ai_anti_bump// an anti-bump interaction equations is internally generated. For anti-bumping only the //ai_anti_bump// is faster than using //atomic_interaction//. The macro AI_Anti_Bump uses//ai_anti_bump//.
 +
 +//no_self_interaction// prevents any interactions between equivalent positions of a site. This is useful when a general position is used to describe a special position.
 +
 +//ai_closest_N//: interactions between $sites_1 and $sites_2 are sorted by distance and only the first //ai_closest_N// number of interactions are considered.
 +
 +//ai_radius//: only the interactions between $sites_1 and $sites_2 that are within the distance //ai_radius// are considered.
 +
 +When //ai_radius// and //ai_closest_N// are both defined then interactions from both sets of corresponding interaction are considered.
 +
 +//ai_exclude_eq_0//: only interactions that is not the first equivalent positions in $sites_2 are considered. For example, in the following:
 +
 +atomic_interaction...
 +
 +ai_exclude_eq_0
 +
 +ai_sites_1 Pb
 +
 +ai_sites_1 “O1 O2”
 +
 +the following interactions are considered:
 +
 +Pb:0 and O1:n      (n ¹ 0)
 +
 +Pb:0 and O2:n      (n ¹ 0)
 +
 +where the number after the ‘:’ character corresponds to the equivalent positions of the sites.
 +
 +//ai_only_eq_0//:only interactions between equivalent positions 0 are considered.
 +
 +**__Functions__**
 +
 +The //atomic_interaction//’ equation can be a function of the following functions:
 +
 +AI_R(#ri): Returns the distance between the current site and the atom defined with Ri = #ri.
 +
 +AI_R_CM: A function of no arguments that returns the geometric center of the current atom and the atoms defined in $sites_2.
 +
 +AI_Flatten(#toll): A function that returns the sum of distances of the current atom and those defined in $sites_2 to an approximate plane of best fit. The plane of best fit is constructed such that the sum of the perpendicular distances to the current atom plus those defined in $sites_2 are a minimum
 +
 +AI_Cos_Angle(#ri1, #ri2): Returns the Cos of the angle between the atom define as Ri=#ri1, the current atom and the atom defined as Ri=#ri2.
 +
 +AI_Angle(#ri1, #ri2) : Similar to AI_Cos_Angle except that the value returned is the angle in degrees.
 +
 +Examples BENZENE_AI1.INP, BENZENE_AI2.INP and BENZENE_AI3.INP demonstrates the use of the //atomic_interation// functions.
 +
 +//atomic_interaction//’s can be used to apply geometric restraints. For example, an anti-bump interaction between symmetry related molecules can be formulated as follows:
 +
 +atomic_interaction ai1 =
 +
 +IF R < 3 THEN
 +
 +(R-3)^2
 +
 +ELSE
 +
 +0
 +
 +ENDIF
 +
 +;
 +
 +ai_exclude_eq_0
 +
 +ai_sites_1 C*
 +
 +ai_sites_1 C*
 +
 +ai_radius 3
 +
 +penalty = If(Cycle_Iter < 10, ai1, 0);
 +
 +This example demonstrates anti-bumping between molecules for the first ten iterations of a [[#k144|refinement cycle]].
 +
 +**[//atom_out// $file [append] ]...**
 +
 +Used for writing //site// dependent details to file. See the keyword //out// for a description of //[[#k045|out_record]]//. The Out_CIF_STR uses //atom_out//
 +
 +**[//axial_conv//]...  **
 +
 +**//filament_length//** **E //sample_length// E //receiving_slit_length// E**
 +
 +**[//primary_soller_angle// E]**
 +
 +**[//secondary_soller_angle// E]**
 +
 +**[//axial_n_beta// !E]**
 +
 +Defines the full axial divergence model using the method of Cheary & Coelho (1998b).
 +
 +//filament_length, sample_length// and //receiving_slit_length// define the length of the tube filament, sample and receiving slit in the axial plane in mm.
 +
 +//primary_soller_angle//: primary Soller slit angle in degrees.
 +
 +//secondary_soller_angle//:  secondary Soller slit angle in degrees.
 +
 +//axial_n_beta//: Define the number of rays emanating from a point X-ray source in the axial plane. Larger values for //axial_n_beta// increases both accuracy and calculation time.
 +
 +The macro Full_Axial_Model simplifies the use of //axial_conv//.
 +
 +**[//bkg// [@] # # #...]**
 +
 +Defines a Chebyshev polynomial where the number of coefficients are equal to the number of numeric values appearing after the //bkg// keyword.
 +
 +**[//bootstrap_errors// !Ecycles]**
 +
 +**[//fraction_of_yobs_to_resample// !E]**
 +
 +**[//determine_values_from_samples//]**
 +
 +**[//resample_from_current_ycalc//]**
 +
 +//bootstrap_errors// uses the bootstrap method of error determination (Efron & Tibshirani 1986, DiCiccio & Efron 1996, Chernick 1999). Bootstrapping comprises a series of refinements each with a fraction Yobs data modified to obtain a new bootstrap sample. The standard deviations of the refined values then become the bootstrap errors. !Ecycles corresponds to the number of refinement cycles to perform, it defaults to 200. The resulting bootstrap errors are written to the *.OUT file.
 +
 +//fraction_of_yobs_to_resample// corresponds to the fraction of the observed data that is to be replaced each refinement cycle, it defaults to 0.37. Replacement data is by default obtained randomly from the calculated pattern obtained at the end of the first refinement cycle. If //resample_from_current_ycalc// is defined then replacement data are obtained from the currently completed refinement cycle. The updated Yobs data is additionally modified such that the change in Rwp is unchanged in regards to the current Ycalc.
 +
 +Parameter values used at the start of each refinement cycle are obtained from the end of the first refinement cycle. //val_on_continue// can additionlly be used to change parameter values at the start of a cycle.
 +
 +If //determine_values_from_samples// is defined then parameter values at the end of bootstrapping are updated with values determined from the bootstrapping refinement cycles.
 +
 +Parameter values obtained at the end of each bootstrap refinement cycle is written to disk in binary format. These values are then read and processed at the end of the bootstrap process without actually storing all of the values in memory. Thus the bootstrap process has a small memory footprint.
 +
 +**[//box_interaction// [//from_N// #] [//to_N// #] [//no_self_interaction//] $site_1 $site_2 N E]...**
 +
 +Defines a site interaction with the name N between [[#k142|sites identified]] by $site_1 and $site_2. E represents the site interaction equation which can be a function of R and Ri. R returns the distance in Å between two atoms; these distances are updated when dependent fractional atomic coordinates are modified. The name of the //box_interaction// N can be used in equations and in particular penalty equations.
 +
 +When either //from_N// or //to_N// are defined, the interactions between $site_1 and $site_2 are sorted by distance and only the interactions between the //from_N// and //to_N// are considered.
 +
 +//no_self_interaction// prevents any interactions between equivalent positions of the same site. This is useful when a general position is used to describe a special position.
 +
 +For example, the following could be used to iterate from the nearest atom to the third atom from a site called Si1:
 +
 +str
 +
 +site Si1...
 +
 +site O1...
 +
 +site O2...
 +
 +site O3...
 +
 +box_interaction Si1 O* to_N 2 !si1o = (R-2)^2;
 +
 +penalty = !si1o;
 +
 +In this example the nearest three oxygen atoms are soft constrained to a distance of 2 Angstroms by the use of the penalty function. Counting starts at zero and thus //to_N// is set to 2 to iterate up to the third nearest atom.
 +
 +The wild card character ‘*’ used in “O*” means that sites with names starting with ‘O’ are considered. In addition to using the wild card character, the site names can be explicitly written within double quotation marks, for example:
 +
 +box_interaction Si1 “O1 O2 O3” to_N 3 etc...
 +
 +Interactions between Si1 and the three oxygen atoms O1, O2, O3 may not all be included, for example, if Si1 had as its nearest neighbours the following:
 +
 +Si1 ↔ O1,1 at a distance of 1.0 Angstroms
 +
 +Si1 ↔ O2,3 at a distance of 1.1 Angstroms
 +
 +Si1 ↔ O2,1 at a distance of 1.2 Angstroms
 +
 +Si1 ↔ O1,2 at a distance of 1.3 Angstroms
 +
 +then two equivalent positions of site O1 and two equivalent positions of O2 are included in the interaction equation; thus no interaction between Si1-O3 is considered. To ensure that each of the three oxygens had Si1 included in an interaction equation then the following could be used:
 +
 +box_interaction “O1 O2 O3” Si1 to_N 0 etc…
 +
 +Thus the order of $site_1 and $site_2 is important when either from_N or to_N is defined.
 +
 +The reserved parameters Ri and Break can also be used in interaction equations when either from_N or to_N is defined. Ri returns the index of the current interaction being operated on with the first interaction starting at Ri=0.
 +
 +//box_interaction// is used for example in the Anti_Bump macro.
 +
 +**[//break_if_been_there//  $sites !E [//been_there_buffer// #buffer_size]** **[//been_there_clear_buffer// !E]]**
 +
 +Breaks the current [[#k144|refinement cycle]] if the [[#k142|sites identified]] in $sites are less than !E away to a previous configuration. //been_there_buffer// determines the number of previous site configurations to keep. If //been_there_clear_buffer// is defined and it evaluates to non-zero then the "been there buffer" is cleared.
 +
 +Example ALVO4-GRS.INP demonstrates the use of //break_if_been_there//. When the current atomic configuration is similar to a previous configuration then that particular refinement cycle is terminated and the temperature is advanced to the next temperature. 
 +
 +//break_if_been_there// is typically not used with //[[#k133|randomize_on_errors]]// as the latter includes its own version of remembering parameter values and breaking a cycle early.
 +
 +**[//brindley_spherical_r_cm// !E]**
 +
 +Used for applying the Brindley correction for spherical particles. The macro Apply_Brindley_Spherical_R_PD(R, PD) is defined as:
 +
 +macro Apply_Brindley_Spherical_R_PD(R, PD)
 +
 +{
 +
 +brindley_spherical_r_cm = (R) (PD);
 +
 +}
 +
 +R is the radius of the particle in cm and PD is the packing density, a number that is not updated and not refined. Here’s an example:
 +
 +xdd...
 +
 +str
 +
 +Apply_Brindley_Spherical_R_PD(R, PD)
 +
 +MVW(0,0,0)
 +
 +str
 +
 +Apply_Brindley_Spherical_R_PD(R, PD)
 +
 +MVW(0,0,0)
 +
 +Note, that PD is incorporated by way of an equation definition for //brindley_spherical_r_cm//. Also, //phase_MAC// or MVW need not be defined as they are created as needed; their definition however is necessary in order to obtain their respective values. The Brindley correction is not applied to phases without the //brindley_spherical_r_cm// defined.
 +
 +The Brindley correction can be applied to all phases including //xo_Is//. In the case of phases that do not have lattice parameters or sites then the User would need to enter values for //cell_volume//, //cell_mass// and //phase_MAC// in order for the Brindley correction to work and for the weight percents to be obtained. This allows for the incorporation of non-structural phases in quantitative analysis. For example, the following works as the necessary information have been included.

The //capillary_diameter_mm// convolution corrects for peak shapes, intensities and 2Th shifts, see example CAPILLARY-SIMULATED.INP.
 +
 +Use of //capillary_parallel_beam// results in a correction for a parallel primary beam.
 +
 +Use of //capillary_divergent_beam// results in a correction for a divergent primary beam.

 +
 +//cell_mass//, //cell_volume// and //weight_percent// correspond to  unit cell mass, volume and weight percent of the phase within the mixture.
 +
 +//spiked_phase_measured_weight_percent// defines the weight percent of a spiked phase. Used by the xdd dependent keyword //weight_percent_amorphous// to determine amorphous weight percent. Only one phase per xdd is allowed to contain the keyword //spiked_phase_measured_weight_percent//.
 +
 +//corrected_weight_percent//is the weight percent after considering amorphous content as determined by //weight_percent_amorphous//.
 +
 +The weight fraction w<sub>p</sub> for phase "p" is calculated as follows:
 +
 +| <sub>{{techref_files:image156.gif?76x70}}</sub>   | where   N<sub>p</sub> = Number of phases Q<sub>p</sub> = S<sub>p</sub>M<sub>p</sub>V<sub>p</sub>/B<sub>p</sub> S<sub>p</sub> = Rietveld scale factor for phase p. M<sub>p</sub> = Unit cell mass for phase p. V<sub>p</sub> = Unit cell volume for phase p. B<sub>p</sub> = Brindley correction for phase p. |
 +
 +The Brindley correction is a function of //brindley_spherical_r_cm// and the phase and mixture linear absorption coefficients; the latter two are in turn functions of //phase_MAC// and //mixture_MAC// respectively, or,
 +
 +B<sub>p</sub> is function of :  (LAC<sub>phase</sub>-MAC<sub>mixture</sub>) //brindley_spherical_r_cm//
 +
 +where
 +
 +LAC<sub>phase</sub>       = linear absorption coefficient of phase p, packing density of 1.
 +
 +MAC<sub>mixture</sub>     = linear absorption coefficient of the mixture, packing density of 1.
 +
 +This makes B<sub>p</sub> a function of the weight fractions w<sub>p</sub> of all phases and thus w<sub>p</sub> as written above cannot be solved analytically. Subsequently w<sub>p</sub> is solved numerically through the use of iteration.
 +
 +**[//chi2_convergence_criteria// !E]**
 +
 +Convergence is determined when the change in <sub>{{techref_files:image002.gif?20x23}}</sub> is less than //chi2_convergence_criteria// for three consecutive cycles and when all defined //stop_when// parameter attributes evaluate to true. Example:

 +
 +//cloud// allows for the tracking of atoms defined in $sites in three dimensions. It can be useful for determining the average positions of heavy atoms or rigid bodies during refinement cycles. For example, a dummy atom, “site X1” say, can be placed at the center of a benzene ring and then tracked as follows:

 +
 +
 +
 +cloud “X1”
 +
 +cloud_population 100
 +
 +cloud_save SOME_FILE.CLD
 +
 +On termination of refinement the CLD file is saved; it can be viewed using the rigid body editor of the GUI; see examples AE14-12.INP for a cloud example. //cloud_population// is the maximum number of population members. Each population member comprises the fractional coordinates of $sites and an associated Rwp value.
 +
 +//cloud_save_xyzs// saves a cloud populations to file.
 +
 +//cloud_load_xyzs// loads and reuses previously saved populations. //cloud_load_xyzs_omit_rwps// can be used to exclude population membes whilst loading; it can be a function of Get(Cloud_Rwp) where Cloud_Rwp is the associated Rwp of a population member.

The actual number of positions extracted may be less than //cloud_number_to_extract// depending on the cloud.
 +
 +** [//conserve_memory//]**
 +
 +Deletes temporary arrays used in intermediate calculations; memory savings of up to 70% can be expected on some problems with subsequent lengthening of execution times by up to 40%. When //approximate_A// is used on dense matrices then //conserve_memory// can reduce memory usage by up to 90%.
 +
 +**[//continue_after_convergence//]**
 +
 +Refinement is continued after convergence. Before continuing the following actions are performed:

 +
 +//[[#k133|randomize_on_errors]]// process is performed

 +
 +**[//do_errors//]**
 +
 +Errors for refined parameters (ESD's) and a correlation matrix are calculated at the end of refinement. The correlation matrix if defined using //C_matrix_normalized// is updated, if not defined then //C_matrix_normalized// is automatically defined and appeneded to the OUT file.

 +
 +fourier_map_formula = Fobs; ‘ The default
 +
 +fourier_map_formula = 2 Fobs - Fcalc;
 +
 +Fobs corresponds to the obserbed structure moduli; in the powder data case Fobs is calculated from the Rietveld decomposition formula. Phases are determined from Fcalc.
 +
 +Reflections that are missing from within the Ewald sphere are included with Fobs set to Fcalc. If //extend_calculated_sphere_to// is defined then the Ewald sphere is extended.

 +Defines a GRS interaction with a name of N between [[#k142|sites identified]] by $site_1 and $site_2. E represents the GRS interaction equation that can be a function of R, which returns the distance in Angstroms between two atoms; these distances are updated when dependent fractional atomic coordinates are modified. The name of the //grs_interaction// N can be used in equations and in particular penalty equations.
 +
 +When either //from_N// or //to_N// are defined, the interactions between $site_1 and $site_2 are sorted by distance and only the interactions between the //from_N// and //to_N// are considered.
 +
 +//no_self_interaction// prevents any interactions between equivalent positions of the same site. This is useful when a general position is used to describe a special position.

 +//lp_search// uses a new indexing algorithm that is independent of d-spacing extraction; lp-search-pbso4.inp demonstrates its use. lp_search minimizes on a new figure of merit function that gives a measure of correctness for a particular set of lattice parameters. More specifically the figure of merit function assigns parts of the diffraction pattern to peaks and then sums the absolute values of the products of the diffraction intensities multiplied by the distance to the peaks:

 +Surpresses [[#k157|LIMIT_MIN]] and LIMIT_MAX warning messages.
 +
 +**[//normalize_FCs//]**
 +
 +If defined then site fractional coordinates are normalized. Normalization of a particular fractional coordinate does not occur if it has //min/////max// limits, is part of a //rigid// body or part of a site constraint of any kind.
 +
 +**[//numerical_area// E]**
 +
 +Returns the numerically calculated area under the phase.
 +
 +**[//occ_merge// $sites [//occ_merge_radius// !E]]...**
 +
 +//occ_merge// rewrites the site occupancy of the sites defined in $sites in terms of their fractional atomic coordinates (Favre-Nicolin and R. Cerny 2002). This is useful during structure solution for merging ocathedra or other types of defined rigid bodies. It is also useful for identifying special positions as seen in the example PBSO4-DECOMPOSE.INP.
 +
 +In the present implementation $sites are thought of as spheres with a radius //occ_merge_radius.// When two atoms approach within a distance less than the sum of their respective //occ_merge_radius//’s then the spheres intersect. The occupancies of the sites, occ_xyz,  thus become:
 +
 +occ_xyz = 1 / (1 + Intersection fractional volumes)
 +
 +In this way any number of sites can be merged.
 +
 +Sites appearing in $sites cannot have their occupancies refined. On termination of refinement the //occ// parameter values are updated with their corresponding occ_xyz.
 +
 +**[//omit_hkls// !E]**
 +
 +Allows for the filtering of hkls using the reserved parameter names of H, K, L and D_spacing. More than one omit_hkls can be defined, for example:

 +
 +omit_hkls = And(H==0, K==1);
 +
 +omit_hkls = D_spacing < 1;

 +
 +**[//only_penalties//]**
 +
 +Instructs the minimization procedure to minimize on penalty functions only. The //only_penalties// switch is assumed when there are only penalties to minimize, i.e. when there are no observed data. Note, parameters that are not functions of penalties are not refined.

 +
 +**[//out_fmt_err// $c_fmt_string]...**
 +
 +Used for writing parameter details to a file. The details are appended to $file when //append// is defined. //out_eqn// defines the equation or parameter to be written to $file using the //out_fmt//. $c_fmt_string describes a format string in c syntax containing a single format specified for a double precision number. //out_fmt_err// defines the $c_fmt_string used for formatting the error of //eqn.//
 +
 +Both //out_fmt// and //out_fmt_err// requires an //out_eqn// definition. //out_fmt// can be used without //out_eqn// for writing strings. The order of //out_fmt// and //out_fmt_err// determines which is written to file first; thus if //out_fmt_err// is defined first then it will be operated on first.

 +
 +**[//peak_typ//****//e//** **$type]**

 +Sets the peak type for a phase. The following //peak_type//’s are available:
 +
 +| **Peak type** | **$type** | **Parameters** |
 +| Fundamental Parameters | fp |   |
 +| Pseudo-Voigt   | pv | [//pv_lor E  pv_fwhm E//] //pv_lor// is the Lorentzian fraction of the peak profile(s). //pv_fwhm// is the FWHM of the peak profile(s). |
 +| Split-PearsonVII   | spvii | [//h1// E  //h2// E  //m1// E  //m2// E] The sum of //h1// and //h2// gives the FWHM of the composite peak. //m1, m//2 are the PearsonVII exponents of the left and right composite peak, respectively. |
 +| Split-PseudoVoigt   | spv | [//spv_h1// E  //spv_h2// E  //spv_l1// E  //spv_l2// E] The sum of //spv_h1// and //spv_h2// gives the full width at half maximum of the composite peak. //spv_l1, spv_l2//: the Lorentzian fractions of the left and right composite peak, respectively. |
 +
 +**[//peak_buffer_step// E [//report_on//]]**
 +
 +As the shapes of phase peaks do not change significantly over a short 2q range, a new peak shape is calculated only if the position of the last peak shape calculated is more than the distance defined by //peak_buffer_step//. Various stretching and interpolation procedures are used in order to calculate in-between peaks. See also section 6.4.
 +
 +The reserved parameter names of H, K, L, M or parameter names associated with the keywords //sh_Cij_prm// and //hkl_angle// when used in the peak convolution equations result in irregular peak shapes over short 2q ranges and thus a separate peak shape is calculated for each peak.
 +
 +When defined //report_on// causes the display of the number of peaks in the peaks buffer.
 +
 +//peak_buffer_step// is set to 500*//Peak_Calculation_Step// by default.
 +
 +**[//penalty// !E]...**
 +
 +Defines a penalty function that can be a function of other parameters. Penalties are useful for stabilizing refinements as in for example their use in bond-length restraints.

 +
 +penalty = If(contraint_1 < 48, 0, (contraint_1-48)^2); : 0

 +Minimizing on penalty functions in the presence of observed data is possible with the use of the //only_penalties// keyword.
 +
 +**[//penalties_weighting_K1// !E]**
 +
 +Defines the weighting K<sub>1</sub> given to penalty functions as defined in Eq. (5‑2). //penalties_weighting_K1// is set to 1 by default.

 +**[//percent_zeros_before_sparse_A// #]**
 +
 +Defines the percentage of the A matrix than can be zero before sparse matrix methods are invoked. The default value is 60%.
 +
 +**[//phase_MAC// !E]**
 +
 +Calculates the mass absorption coefficient in cm<sup>2</sup>/g for the current phase. See description for //[[#k038|mixture_MAC]]//.
 +
 +**[//phase_out// $file [//append//] ]...**
 +
 +Used for writing phase dependent details to file. See the keyword //out// for a description of //[[#k045|out_record]]//. The Create_hklm_d_Th2_Ip_file uses //phase_out//.
 +
 +**[//pk_xo// E]**
 +
 +Provides a mechanism for transforming peak position to an x-axis position. For example, the peak position for neutron time-of-flight data is typically calculated in time-of-flight space, tof, or:
 +
 +tof = t0 + t1 d<sub>hkl</sub> + t2 d<sub>hkl</sub><sup>2</sup>
 +
 +where t0 and t1 and t2 are diffractometer constants. //pk_xo// can be used to refine TOF data as shown in examples TOF_Balzar_sh1.inp and TOF_Balzar_br1.inp.

 +
 +#h, #k, #l are user defined hkls; they are used for formulating the phase penalties. #Re and #Im are the real and imaginary parts of <sub>{{techref_files:image164.gif?21x29}}</sub>. An example use of phase penalties (see examples AE14-12.INP and AE5-AUTO.inp) is as follows:

 +//quick_refine// removes parameters that influence <sub>{{techref_files:image002.gif?20x23}}</sub> in a small manner during a [[#k144|refinement cycle]]. Use of //quick_refine// speeds up simulated annealing, see for example the macro Auto_T which is used in example AE1-AUTO.INP. All refined parameters are reinstated for refinement at the start of subsequent cycles. Large //quick_refine// values aggressively removes parameters and convergence to low <sub>{{techref_files:image002.gif?20x23}}</sub> maybe hindered. A value of 0.1 works well.

 +  * The degree of parameter randomization increases with increasing values of //quick_refine//. Thus randomization should be reduced as //quick_refine// increases. Alternatively //randomize_on_errros// can be used which automatically determines the amount a parameter is randomized.
 +
 +//quick_refine_remove//removes a parameter from refinement if it evaluates to non-zero or reinstates a parameter if it evaluates to zero.

 +
 +//sh_Cij_prm// is the spherical harmonics coefficients, which can be defined by the User, or, alternatively if there are no coefficients defined then the //sh_Cij_prm// parameters are generated. Only the coefficients allowed by the selection rules of the point group are generated (Järvinen, 1993). At the end of refinement the generated //sh_Cij_prm// parameters are appended to //sh_order//. This allows for control over the //sh_Cij_prm// parameters in subsequent refinements. $Yij corresponds to valid symmetrized harmonics that has survived symmetrization. It is internally generated when there are no //sh_Cij_prm// parameters defined by the User.

 +
 +}
 +
 +Starting from a particular cation configuration, a single swap of two different cation species does not exhaust all possible cation configurations. For example, three sites A, B and C have the six possible configurations of ABC, ACB, BAC, CAB, BCA, CBA. Swapping any two from the starting configuration of ABC results in the possible configurations of BAC, CBA, ACB with CAB and BCA absent. The absent configurations can be obtained by a double swap where, for example, the swapping of A and C yields CBA and then the swapping of A and B yields CAB. Thus all possible configurations can be visited if in between swapping steps are realized by the simulated annealing process.
 +
 +Swapping the Zr sites with and Ca sites in the example above can be performed as follows:

 +A temperature regime has no affect unless the reserved parameter name T is used in //[[#x000|val_on_continue]]// attributes, or, if the following temperature dependent keywords are used:
 +
 +[[#k128|rand_xyz]]
 +
 +[[#k133|randomize_on_errors]]
 +
 +//randomize_on_errors//automatically determines parameter displacements without the need for //[[#k128|rand_xyz]]//or //val_on_continue//. It performs well on a wide range of problems.

 +The reserved parameter T returns the current temperature and it can be used in equations and in particular the //[[#x000|val_on_continue]]// attribute. The first //temperature// defined becomes the starting temperature; subsequent //temperature//(s) become the current temperature.
 +
 +If <sub>{{techref_files:image016.gif?20x23}}</sub> increases relative to a previous cycle then the temperature is advanced to the next //temperature//. If <sub>{{techref_files:image016.gif?20x23}}</sub> decreases relative to previous temperatures of lesser values then the current temperature is rewound to a previous temperature such that its previous is of a greater value.
 +
 +//move_to_the_next_temperature_regardless_of_the_change_in_rwp// forces the refinement to move to the next temperature regardless of the change in Rwp from the previous temperature.

 +//do_processes// executes any //swap_sites// or //try_site_patterns// processes.
 +
 +The temperature regime as defined in the macro Auto_T is sufficient for most problems.
 +
 +A typical temperature regime starts with a high value and then a series of annealing temperatures, for example:
 +
 +temperature 2
 +
 +move_to_the_next_temperature_regardless_of_the_change_in_rwp
 +
 +temperature 1
 +
 +temperature 1
 +
 +temperature 1
 +
 +If the current temperature is the last one defined (the fourth one), and <sub>{{techref_files:image016.gif?20x23}}</sub> decreased relative to the second and third //temperature//s, then the current temperature is set to the second temperature.
 +
 +The current temperature can be used in all equations using the reserved parameter T, for example:
 +
 +x @ 0.123 val_on_continue = Val + T Rand(-.1, .1)
 +
 +The following temperature regime will allow parameters to randomly walk for the first temperature. At the second temperature the parameters are reset to those that gave the "best solution".

 +temperature 1

 +   save_values_as_best_after_randomization
 +
 +   move_to_the_next_temperature_regardless_of_the_change_in_rwp
 +
 +Note, that when a "best solution" is encountered the temperature is rewound to a position where the temperature decreased. For example, if the R<sub>WP</sub> dropped at lines 2 to 5 then the next temperature will be set to "line 1".
 +
 +The following will continuously use the "best solution" before randomisation. This particular temperature regime has a tendency to remain in a false minimum.

 +
 +}
 +
 +The number of possible cation configurations determines the approximate magnitude of a structure determination problem. A structure consisting of N<sub>A</sub> cation sites of species A and N<sub>B</sub> cation sites of species B has, for a particular set of cation positions, a number of possible configurations N<sub>AB</sub> calculated as follows:
 +
 +N<sub>AB</sub> = <sup>(NA+NB)</sup>C<sub>NB</sub> / N<sub>B</sub>!
 +
 +where the notation <sup>u</sup>C<sub>v</sub>=(u-0)(u-1)(u-2)…(u-(v-1)) has been used. Thus for N<sub>A</sub>=3 and N<sub>B</sub>=4 we have N<sub>AB</sub>=(7 6 5 4)%%/(%%4 3 2 1)=N<sub>BA</sub>=(7 6 5)%%/(%%3 2 1)=35. The number of configurations N<sub>ABD</sub> for and additional set of cation sites of species D becomes:
 +
 +N<sub>ABD</sub> = N<sub>AB</sub> (<sup>(NA+NB+NDD)</sup>C<sub>ND</sub> / N<sub>D</sub>! )
 +
 +An additional two D sites, or, N<sub>A</sub>=3, N<sub>B</sub>=4 and N<sub>D</sub>=2 gives and N<sub>ABD</sub>=1260. Thus the number of configurations quickly becomes prohibitive for an exhaustive search.

 +
 +**[//xo_Is//]...**
 +
 +**[//xo// E  //I// E]...**
 +
 +Defines a phase type that uses x-axis space for generating peak positions, see example XOIS.INP. //xo// corresponds to the peak position and //I// is the intensity parameter before applying any //scale_pks// equations.
 +
 +**[//yobs_eqn// !N E]**
 +
 +The keyword //yobs_eqn// is used in place of the //xdd// keyword. It describes the observed data as an equation. This is very useful for approximating functions, see examples in section **Error! Reference source not found.**. The name given to the equation !N is used for identifying the equation in the GUI.
 +
 +**[//yobs_out// $file] [//ycalc_out// $file] [//diff_out// $file]**
 +
 +Outputs the observed, calculated and difference patterns respectively in a format as specified in the extension of $file. Extensions *.xy, *.scr, *.xdd are supported. Further formats are accommodated using any number of macros including Out_Yobs_Ycalc_and_Difference, Out_X_Yobs etc…
 +
 +**[****//yobs_to_xo_posn_yobs//** **!E]**
 +
 +At the start of refinement //yobs_to_xo_posn_yobs// decomposes an X-ray diffraction pattern into a new pattern comprising at most one data point per hkl. Fitting to the decomposed pattern in a normal Rietveld refinement manner is then possible due to the ability to refine data of unequal x-axis step sizes. This normal Rietveld manner of fitting is important in structure solution from simulated annealing as the back ground can still be refined and the problem of peak overlap avoided. These new data points are not extracted intensities and thus the problem  of peak overlap, as occurs in intensity extraction, is avoided. The much smaller number of data points in the new diffraction pattern can greatly improve speed in structure solution; in other words the calculation time in synthesizing the diffraction pattern becomes close to that of when dealing with single crystal data.
 +
 +If the distance between two hkls is less than the value of //yobs_to_xo_posn_yobs// then the proposed data point at one of these hkls is discarded. Thus the final decomposed pattern may in fact have less data points than hkls. A reasonable value for //yobs_to_xo_posn_yobs// is  Peak_Calculation_Step, or,
 +
 +yobs_to_xo_posn_yobs = Peak_Calculation_Step;
 +
 +//yobs_to_xo_posn_yobs// can be a function of the reserved parameter X with X being the value of the x-axis at the hkl//.//
 +
 +It is important to determine and then fix all peak shape, zero error and lattice parameters before using yobs_to_xo_posn_yobs. Also, if the original diffraction pattern is noisy then it may be best to smooth it using the //smooth// keyword or re-binned using //rebin_with_dx_of//. Alternatively, a calculated pattern could be used as input into the yobs_to_xo_posn_yobs
 +
 +Note that structure solution can be speed up by preventing graphical output or by increasing the Graphics Response Time in the GUI.

 +
 +===== 8.3        Keywords to simplify User input =====
 +
 +==== 8.3.1              The "load { }" keyword and attribute equations ====
 +
 +The "//load// { }" keyword can be used to simplify User input. It allows the loading of keywords of the same type by typing the keywords once, for example, the //exclude// keyword in the following input segment:
 +
 +xdd...
 +
 +exclude 20 22
 +
 +exclude 32 35
 +
 +exclude 45 47
 +
 +can be rewritten using "//load// { }" as follows:
 +
 +xdd...
 +
 +load exclude { 20 22 32 35 45 47 }
 +
 +This input can be further simplified using the Exclude macro:
 +
 +Exclude { 20 22 32 35 45 47 }
 +
 +In some cases attribute equations are loaded by the parameter itself. For example, in the following:
 +
 +prm t 0.01  val_on_continue = Rand(-Pi, Pi); min 0.4 max 0.5
 +
 +the //prm// will actually load the attribute. But, in the following:
 +
 +load prm val_on_continue min max { t 0.01 = Rand(-Pi, Pi); 0.4 0.5 }
 +
 +the //load// keyword will load the attributes.
 +
 +The following is valid:
 +
 +load sh_Cij_prm
 +
 +{
 +
 +   y00 !sh_c00 1
 +
 +   y20  sh_c20 0.26202642  min 0 max 1
 +
 +   y40  sh_c40 0.06823548
 +
 +   ...
 +
 +}
 +
 +In this case the //load// keyword does not contain //min/max// and the parameter will load its attributes. The //load// keyword however can contain attributes, for example:
 +
 +load sh_Cij_prm min max
 +
 +{
 +
 +   y00 !sh_c00 1           0 1
 +
 +   y20  sh_c20 0.26202642  0 1
 +
 +   y40  sh_c40 0.06823548  0 1
 +
 +   ...
 +
 +}
 +
 +In this case the attributes must be entered for all //load// entries.
 +
 +==== 8.3.2              The "move_to $keyword" keyword ====
 +
 +The //move_to// keyword provides a means of entering parameter attributes without having to first load the parameter name and value, see for example the Keep_Atom_Within_Box macro. The site dependent ADPs_Keep_PD macro defines //min/max// limits; here's part of that macro:
 +
 +move_to u12
 +
 +min = -Sqrt(Get(u11) Get(u22));
 +
 +max =  Sqrt(Get(u11) Get(u22));
 +
 +The $keyword of //move_to// can be any keyword and not just a parameter keyword.
 +
 +==== 8.3.3              The "for xdds { }" and "for strs { }" constructs ====
 +
 +The “//for// //xdds// { }” and "//for// //strs// { }" constructs simplify the construction of input files when there are multiple diffraction patterns with similar structures, see example QUARTZ2_FPA.INP. For example, two diffraction patterns with the same structures can be composed as follows:
 +
 + 
 +
 +| xdd ... | ‘ first //xdd// |
 +|       bkg ...  \\       th2_offset ...     \\       ... | ‘ //xdd// dependent, __not common__ to the //xdd//'s |
 +|    str... | ‘ first //str// |
 +|       scale ...  \\       ... | ‘ //str// dependent, __not common__ to the //str//'s |
 +| xdd ... | ‘ second //xdd// |
 +|    bkg ... \\    th2_offset ...\\    ... | ‘ //xdd// dependent, __not common__ to the //xdd//'s |
 +|    str... | ‘ second //str// |
 +|       scale ...  \\       ... | ‘ //str// dependent, __not common__ to the //str//'s |
 +| for xdds { |   |
 +|    Slit_Width(.2)\\    CuKa2\\    ... | ‘ //xdd// dependent, __common__ to the //xdd//'s |
 +|    for strs { | ‘ //str// dependent, __common__ to the //xdd//'s |
 +|       ... |   |
 +|    } |   |
 +|    for strs 1 to 1 { |   |
 +|       space_group p1\\       site ... | ‘ //str// dependent, __specific__ to the __first__ //str// |
 +|    } |   |
 +| } |   |
 +
 +For obvious reasons, parameters should not be given the @ name within //for// constructs. The effect this would have is to give unique parameter names to the parameters iterated over; the output file would contain the parameter value corresponding to the last “//for xdds//” or “//for strs//” iteration.
 +
 +====== 9             Macros and Include Files ======
 +
 +INP files are pre-processed. The pre-processor comprises directives beginning with the character # and macros. Macros are used for grouping keywords. The directives are of two types, global directives and directives that are invoked on macro expansion, they are:
 +
 +Directives with global scope
 +
 +macro $user_defined_macro_name { … }
 +
 +#include $user_defined_macro_file_name
 +
 +#delete_macros { $macros_to_be_deleted }
 +
 +#define, #undef, #ifdef, #ifndef, #else, #endif
 +
 +Directives invoked on macro expansion
 +
 +#m_ifarg, #m_else, #m_endif
 +
 +#m_code,  #m_eqn, #m_code_refine, #m_one_word
 +
 +#m_argu, #m_first_word, #m_unique_not_refine
 +
 +===== 9.1        The macro directive =====
 +
 +Macros are defined using the macro directive; here's an example:
 +
 +macro Cubic(cv)
 +
 +{
 +
 +   a   cv
 +
 +   b = Get(a);
 +
 +   c = Get(a);
 +
 +}
 +
 +Macros can have multiple arguments or none at all; the Cubic macro above has one argument; here are some examples of the use of Cubic:
 +
 +Cubic(4.50671)
 +
 +Cubic(a_lp 4.50671  //min// 4.49671  //max// 4.52671)
 +
 +Cubic(!a_lp 4.50671)
 +
 +The first instance defines the //a//, //b// and //c// lattice parameters without a parameter name. The second defines the lattice parameters with a name indicating refinement of the a_lp parameter. In the third example, the a_lp parameter is preceded by the character !. This indicates that the a_lp parameter is not to be refined; it can however be used in equations. The definition of macros need not precede its use. For example, in the segment:
 +
 +xdd...
 +
 +Emission_Profile ' this is expanded
 +
 +macro Emission_Profile { CuKa2(0.001) }
 +
 +Emission_Profile is expanded to "CuKa2(0.001)" even though Emission_Profile has been defined after its use.
 +
 +Macro names need not be unique; in cases where more than one macro have the same name then the actual macro expanded is determined by the number of arguments. For example, if the macro Slit_Width(.1) is used then the Slit_Width(v) macro is expanded. On the other hand if the macro Slit_Width(sw, .1) is used then the Slit_Width(c, v) macro is expanded.
 +
 +Macros can also expand to other macro names. For example, the macro Crystallite_Size expands to CS and since CS is a macro then the CS macro will be expanded.
 +
 +==== 9.1.1              Directives with global scope ====
 +
 +**#include $user_defined_macro_file_name**
 +
 +Include files are used to group macros. The file TOPAS.INC contains standard macros; a good place to view examples. Text within include files are inserted at the position of the #include directive, thus the following:
 +
 +#include "my include file.inc"
 +
 +inserts the text within //"//my include file.inc//"// at the position of the #include directive. The standard macro file TOPAS.INC is always included by default.
 +
 +#delete_macros { $macros_to_be_deleted }
 +
 +Macros can be deleted using the #delete_macroskeyword, for example,
 +
 +#delete_macros { LP_Factor SW ZE }
 +
 +will delete all macros previously defined with the names LP_Factor, SW and ZE including macros of the same name but with different arguments.
 +
 +**#define, #undef, #ifdef, #ifndef, #else, #endif**
 +
 +The #define and #undef directives works similar to the c pre-processor directives of the same name. #define and #undef is typically used with #ifdef, #else, #endif directives to control macro expansion in INP files. For example, the following:
 +
 +#ifdef STANDARD_MACROS
 +
 +//xdd//...
 +
 +#endif
 +
 +will expand to contain the //xdd// keyword if STANDARD_MACROS has been previously defined using a #define directive. The following will also expand to contain the //xdd// keyword if STANDARD_MACROS has not been defined using a #define directive,
 +
 +#ifdef !STANDARD_MACROS
 +
 +   #define STANDARD_MACROS
 +
 +   xdd...
 +
 +#endif
 +
 +or,
 +
 +#ifndef STANDARD_MACROS
 +
 +   #define STANDARD_MACROS
 +
 +   xdd...
 +
 +#endif
 +
 +Note the use of the ‘!’ character placed before STANDARD_MACROS which means if STANDARD_MACROS is not defined.
 +
 +==== 9.1.2              Directives invoked on macro expansion ====
 +
 +**#m_ifarg, #m_else, #m_endif**
 +
 +These are conditional directives that are invoked on macro expansion. #m_ifarg operates on two statements immediately following its use; the first must refer to a macro argument and the second can be any of the following:  #m_code, #m_eqn, #m_code_refine, #m_one_word and “some string”. #m_ifarg evaluates to true according to the rules of Table 9‑1.
 +
 + 
 +
 +**Table 9‑1**  #m_ifarg syntax and meaning.
 +
 +|   | Evaluates to true if the following is true |
 +| #m_ifarg  c #m_code | If the macro argument c has a letter or the character ! as the first character and if it is not an equation. |
 +| #m_ifarg  c #m_eqn | If the macro argument c is an equation. |
 +| #m_ifarg  c #m_code_refine | If the macro argument c has a letter as the first character and if it is not an equation. |
 +| #m_ifarg c “some_string” | If the macro argument c == “some_string”. |
 +| #m_ifarg  v #m_one_word. | If the macro argument v consists of one word. |
 +
 + 
 +
 +**#m_argu, #m_first_word, #m_unique_not_refine**
 +
 +These operate on one macro argument with the intention of changing the value of the argument according to the rules of Table 9‑2.
 +
 + 
 +
 +**Table 9‑2**  Directives that operate and maybe change the value of a macro argument.
 +
 +|   | Meaning |
 +| #m_argu c | Change the macro argument c to a unique parameter name if it has @ as the first character. |
 +| #m_unique_not_refine c  | Change the macro argument c to a unique parameter name that is not to be refined. |
 +| #m_first_word v | Replace the macro argument v with the first word in the macro argument v. |
 +
 + 
 +
 +===== 9.2        Overview =====
 +
 +The file TOPAS.INC is included into INP files by default; it contains commonly used standard macros. The meaning of the macro arguments in TOPAS.INC can be readily determined from the following conventions:
 +
 +Ø       Arguments called "c" correspond to a parameter name.
 +
 +Ø       Arguments called "v" correspond to a parameter value.
 +
 +Ø       Arguments called "cv" correspond to a parameter name and/or value.
 +
 +For example, the macro Cubic(cv) requires a value and/or a parameter name as an argument. Some examples are:
 +
 +Cubic(a_lp 10.604)
 +
 +Cubic(10.604)
 +
 +Cubic(@ 10.604  min 10.59 max 10.61)
 +
 +Here are some more examples for the Slit_Width macro:
 +
 +SW(@, .1)
 +
 +SW(sw, .1  min = Val-.02; max = Val+.02;)
 +
 +SW%%((%%ap+bp)/cp, 0) ' where ap, bp anc cp are parameters defined elsewhere
