Starting an ANAELU run. Experimental parameters: Radiation wave- length, sample-detector distance, detector resolution, data format
Determination of direct beam position. Several options
Reading the scattering angle, inter-planar distance and intensity associated to a measurement point

Virtual Laue experiment, as generated by Anaelu. The “Cell” window shows the crystal system and the atoms of a Pt unit cell. The “Reciprocal Lattice” window represents the stereographic projection (blue points) and the Laue spots (red).
Observed and calculated “randomized” 1D XRD patterns
Calculation of textured polycrystal pattern as sum of different single-crystal patterns. MODELING AND COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENT Single-crystal programmed rotations
Fuentes: Textures and Microstructures 10, (1989) Fibre textures – one minute of theory Complete statistical description of “fibre textures” is given by the symmetry axis inverse pole figure R(h). (Direct) Pole figures are calculated by means of the Fundamental Equation for Fibre Textures: –Texture statistical descriptors (1)
Determination of the P 111 ( ) direct pole figure, calculated by applying equation (1) to a hypothetical inverse pole figure. The model IPF is formed by Gaussian components at (1, 1, 1) and at orientations generated by (Laue) crystal cubic symmetry. Pole figure calculation in ANAELU
Relation among Bragg angle θ, polar angle and azimuth . Pole figures determine the intensities’ distributions along the Debye rings

Comparison of programs Similarities: Same approach in the design of the GUI. Very similar convention for visualizations and geometry. Differences: Different purposes Different programming languages. Didactic vs practical.

Summarizing: Anaelu: Good for texture analysis with monochromatic XRD. Finished project, ready to download from the ESRF web page. Esmeralda: Good for orienting the crystal and extracting information directly from image. Now under active development, next step is to work with structure factor and the intensities.
