| 27 | 6. Additional Least-Squares Refinement |
|---|
| 28 | </H1> |
|---|
| 29 | The initial fit obtained in the previous runs is not particularly good. The |
|---|
| 30 | <A HREF="garnet5.html#diff">"first derivative"</A> |
|---|
| 31 | appearance in the difference plot peaks indicates that |
|---|
| 32 | peaks are not correctly positioned, so refining the lattice parameters and |
|---|
| 33 | zero point correction are the first order of business. |

| 37 | While normally I would recommend refining the lattice first and then |
|---|
| 38 | in a subsequent refinement cycle also refining the zero point correction |
|---|
| 39 | in a later cycle of refinement, with a cubic cell and a small |
|---|
| 40 | zero-point error it is possible to refine both together. Set the refinement |
|---|
| 41 | flag for the lattice (shown above) and the zero point correction (shown below). |

| 45 | and then start GENLES, as was done before. |

| 49 | A dramatic improvement is seen both through the agreement factors (above) |
|---|
| 50 | and as seen in the plot (below). |

|---|
| 54 | At this point it is a good idea to run POWPREF and GENLES again, |
|---|
| 55 | since peak positions have moved. This causes the Reduced Chi**2 to drop from |
|---|
| 56 | 14.9 to 13.5. |
