PeakPo conducts rapid analysis of a large powder X-ray diffraction dataset. It is designed particularly for synchrotron diffraction data measured in the diamond-anvil cell.
The key functions include:
- Quick navigation through a large dataset
- Comparison of diffraction images and patterns
- Overlay of expected peak positions for candidate phases at given pressures and temperatures
- Visual adjustment of unit-cell parameters to match diffraction peak positions
- Peak fitting
- Unit-cell parameter fitting
- Preparation of publication-ready plots
The analysis results can be saved in a *.dpp file. A *.dpp file can be used as a template for analyzing a large set of data with common features.
A range of output files are also generated in [your chi data file name]-param folder, which allows for plotting unrolled images and processed diffraction patterns together with unit-cell fit results in other softwares and python coding in Jupyter.
PeakPo itself can save high-quality publication-ready plots in a pdf format which can be read from vector graphics softwares such as illustrator for further modifications.
