Lesson 8 of the Profex workshop at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, in March 2024 discusses some common refinement challenges. The first example provides information about how texture / preferred orientation is refined in Profex. The second example demonstrates how to refine anisotropic crystallite sizes. The third example shows how to create electron density maps (difference Fourier maps), and how they can help with structure refinements.

A sequential batch refinement uses the results of a refinement project as input files for the next project. This way, high-temperature or high-pressure measurement series can be refined.

Profex allows to browse and display the scattering power of atoms and ions as a function of the diffraction angle. This can be helpful and illustrative for educational purpose.

Profex version 4.3 comes with a new feature: The COD database can be searched directly, and CIF files can be imported and converted to the STR format very easily.
This video shows how to install the COD database and how to set up Profex accordingly.
