Hello! I have already downloaded and installed fullprof but for some reason when I try run it in Match, it says "Fullprof directory unkown". Can you help me? This is my first time using this.
Sir, if 2 entries are present or if a compound contained 2 different CIF files how to do FP in this? I can refine if it is having single entry, if it is purey unknown compound and has more than 1 entry, i am not getting FP in this. Kinldy help..
Normally, there is nothing that prevents you from running Rietveld refinement calculations with FullProf/Match! on samples that contains two or more phases: Simply collect entries for all phases in the Match list on the lower right-hand side, then run Rietveld refinement (FullProf). If for one (or more) Match list entries crystal structure data are missing, Match! will ask you to import them from corresponding CIF files. If this does not work in your case, please send me your Match! document file (containing your analysis) as well as the CIF files for all compounds in your Match list by e-mail to putz@crystalimpact.de . Please note that it is not possible to run Rietveld refinement calculations for unknown compounds or compounds with unknown crystal structure! You have to solve their crystal structure first, by running indexing and then solving their crystal structure (i.e. get a raw model of the crystal structure) first. For the latter step you could e.g. try to use our software "Endeavour" (www.crystalimpact.de/endeavour/default.htm ). Please let me know (preferably by e-mail to putz@crystalimpact.de ) if these hints did not help to answer your question!
Hi i am a big fab of cyatal impact softwares. But i am facung some problem in refinement. When i tried to refine my data match always says unable to read fplog.log file. How can i solve this problem. I have match 2.2.1 and fullprof 2018 version
If you know the crystal structure data incl. atomic coordinates and site occupation factors, you could try to manually create a corresponding CIF file yourself, by copying an available CIF file of a similar compound (e.g. from the COD, www.crystallography.net ) and modifying it manually.
I must admit that I am not sure that I fully understand your question: Which (calculated and experimental) files would you like to import together? By "calculated" file, do you mean the diffraction profile calculated by the Rietveld program (FullProf)? It would be very nice if you could contact me by e-mail (putz@crystalimpact.de) and explain the background of your questions in some more detail.
Match! is capable of importing a large variety of diffraction data file formats (with automatic detection), but there may still be cases where a format is unknown (or where the import is prohibited by some unexpected values in the data). May I please ask you to send me the corresponding diffraction data file by e-mail to putz@crystalimpact.de so that I can check it? Thank you!
If I have a solid solution and there no cif of that material, is it possible to refine the pattern? I know the material has a hexagonal pattern and I want to know the size particle and strain too. Thank you.
This is not possible with Match! in combination with FullProf, unfortunately. However, in principle this should work using other tools. You might want to take a look at PONKCS, for example: N.V.Y. Scarlett, I.C. Madsen, "Quantification of phases with partial or no known crystal structures", Powder Diffraction 21(4), 278-284 (2006).
@@oscarluisgarciaguzman2677 No, unfortunately not. Not if a chemical reaction has taken place and a new compound ABxC1-x has formed. (It would only be possible if the original compounds AB and AC still exist and you just have a mixture of their crystallites in their original crystal structures, i.e. (AB)x(AC)y.)

when I try to run FP on Match 3, it shows this message C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Match3\FullProf_Calc_0001\fpcalc.out, is there any solution for that?, Thanks
This may either be a hint that there has been some kind of "normal" problem in your Rietveld(FullProf) calculation, or that your version of Match! is not compatible to the FullProf version you are using. (In the past years there have been some changes in FullProf so that more recent versions of this software can no longer be used by older versions of Match! 3.). Please contact us by e-mail (to putz@crystalimpact.de) so that we can check more details and try to find a solution!
Yes, you can do so (in combination with FullProf). The Match! trial version is fully functional and equivalent to the fully licensed version, the only restriction being the time limitation (2 months).
The "Experimental details" window is only displayed if either your diffraction data file does not contain any wavelength information at all, or if it is not clear and needs to be confirmed by the user. Even when the window is not shown at pattern import, you can also change the wavelength later on (after importing the raw diffraction data), e.g. by clicking on the wavelength label in the lower left-hand corner of the pattern graphics, or by running the menu command "Pattern / Wavelength..."
Could you please save your Match! document and send me the resulting .mtd-file attached to an e-mail (putz@crystalimpact.de)? Without taking a look at your data it is not really possible to give you a reasonable advice in this case...
@@islamkhaaalil9451 Please use the menu command "File / Save as..." for this purpose. This will create a "Match! document file" (.mtd) in a directory of your choice.
Rietveld refinement is not always an easy task, unfortunately. It depends to a large part on the peculiarities of your sample, so it it not possible to provide an exact guideline that would work in each and every case. My general advice would be to visually compare your experimental diffraction pattern with the (normally olive-green colored) profile curve calculated in your last Rietveld refinement. Look for major differences (e.g. peak shifts), think about potential origins for the problem (e.g. zero-point or unit cell parameters), and then try to refine just the corresponding Rietveld parameters in the next calculation. If a refinement is not successful, go back one step (in Match!: "Undo"), then try another suitable parameter. Try to keep the numbers you refine at the same time as small as possible until you reach a good agreement between experimental and calculated profile, then add more and more parameters in order to check if your model is "robust". I have tried to compile some general hints on Rietveld refinement with Match!/FullProf here: www.crystalimpact.de/match/help/idh_Rietveld_Hints.htm

This may happen depending on the versions of Match! and FullProf you are using, because there have been some major changes of the FullProf program and the run-time libraries it requires in the past (so older versions of Match! may not be compatible with recent versions of FullProf and vice versa).
