Crystallite Size & Microstrain - Part 3 - Rietveld - HighScore Plus - Panalytical

This is part 3 of 3 of the crystallite size and microstrain series of videos. It covers each step in using Rietveld refinement in HighScore Plus for crystallite size and microstrain determination. All files used in this video are provided by Malvern Panalytical and come with HighScore Plus. This video will show you where to find them on your computer.
