Synchrotron X-ray Powder Diffraction Studies of Accurate Structure-Factors Measurement and Ab Initio Structure Determination

Abstract

Our synchrotron radiation（SR）X-ray powder diffraction studies of accurate structure factors measurement and ab-initio structure determination during past couple of decades have been described with some details. These studies were carried out using SR powder profiles measured at SPring-8. This paper organized as follows：First the performance and an advantage of powder diffraction profile measured at SPring-8. Second, accurate structure factors measurement using SPring-8 together with recent topics. Third, we introduced the strong point of SPring-8 data for structure determination from powder diffraction with some examples. Finally, I will describe summary of this paper.
