DecompXR - X-ray diffraction pattern decomposition

DecompXR allows for the decomposition (peak fit) of experiment X-ray diffraction data. No structural information is deduced from this numerical processing of XRD data that only allows refining positions, intensities and widths of elementary contributions fitting the data.

This program was developed by Bruno Lanson (Grenoble). Its use and limitations are described in the following articles. If you are using this program to fit your X-ray diffraction data please refer to some of the articles below :
