Overview

DRXWin is a computer program for Windows which lets you work with X-Ray diffraction files coming from several diffractometers (Siemens, Philips, Rigaku, Stoe, Seifert, etc.), and Rietveld programs like FullProf and RIET7. The main performances are:

Plot diagrams (maximum 9) in an overlapped or stepped way.
Make zooms, add comments and grids, change axis divisions, etc.
Customize XRD patterns color and white or black for the screen background color.
Automatic peak search and the ability to add symbols to peaks for labeling phases, etc.
Save the peaks to plot afterwards as a pattern and plot patterns of the PDF-2 database.
Qualitative analysis by searching in pattern databases.
2q zero correction; background correction; smoothing; peak area calculation; deconvolution in Gaussian, Lorentzian or Pseudo-Voigt functions allowing to calculate FWHM; 2q range removing; combine XRDs (add and substract) and rescale.
Ability to associate files to DRXWin for loading files with double-click.
Save files in windows metafile format to edit or merge in any word processor like Microsoft Word, Ami Pro, etc.
Excellent quality for printing graphics and extremely easy to use as it runs in the Microsoft Windows enviroment.

CreaFit is a computer program for Windows for creating files of standard pattern database to use with DRXWin. It can read PDF-2 database (CD-ROM) and read files of single-patterns from DRXWin and several diffractometers.
