Powder diffraction program information 1990 program list

Abstract

This paper covers a list of computer programs for powder diffraction analysis of materials, prepared at the request of the International Union of Crystallography Commission on Powder Diffraction. This list is an update to the list prepared for the Mineralogical Society of America as part of their Short Course on Modern Powder Diffraction, augmented by contacting all the identified program authors with a standard form to increase the database of descriptive information and correct any misrepresentations. Many new programs have also been added. Most programs were located by contacts made at meetings and through the literature.
