d2Dplot: 2D X-ray diffraction data processing and analysis for through-the-substrate microdiffraction

Abstract

The d2Dplot computer program provides a set of tools for the visualization, processing and analysis of 2D X-ray diffraction (2DXRD) data. Among the operations available there are the sum/subtraction of 2DXRD images, conversion to 1D data (powder pattern), azimuthal plotting, calibration of instrumental parameters, background subtraction and a command-line mode to run operations inside data processing pipelines. The graphical user interface allows easy use of the program. It also includes two main features: (i) the possibility of creating a user compound database to help in the fast phase identification of similar samples, and (ii) a detailed peak analysis routine for the application of the through-the-substrate microdiffraction methodology.

The Colors of the Circus Mosaic from Barcino (Roman Barcelona): Characterization, Provenance, and Technology Issues

“…The energy used was 26.71 keV (λ = 0.4642 Å) and the diffraction patterns were recorded with a SX165 CCD detector (Rayonix, Evanston, IL, USA). The radial integration of the images was performed with d2Dplot software [26] and phase identification was performed using Panalytical Highscore Plus 2.0.1 software using the integrated PDF-2 database (ICDD).…”

Local manipulation of metamagnetism by strain nanopatterning

“…The structural characterization (see Fig. S1 and S2, ESI †), 48,49 reveals that the as-deposited film grows in the a phase and it has a slight tetragonal distortion [a = 2.98(1) Å and c = 2.99(1) Å lattice parameters] compared to its bulk value. 47 The FeRh film grows epitaxially on the MgO substrate with a [100]FeRh(001)// [110]MgO(001) epitaxial relation.…”

XRD data visualization, processing and analysis with d1Dplot and d2Dplot software packages

“…All these processing operations include their own options such as the possibility to apply geometrical corrections or to define azimuthal bins in the case of the 1D powder pattern generation. All the operations with their respective options have been described in depth in a previous publication [1] and in the user manual.…”

“…The d1Dplot and d2Dplot [1] computer programs for 1D and 2D XRD data, respectively, have been developed prioritizing these aspects.…”
