| We have provided a presentation on the RRUFF data structure. |
|
|
| Diffraction data in the RRUFF database is recorded in two separate files: |
|
|
| - One, named "Powder_Xray_Data," stores diffraction data in reciprocal space. |
| - The other, named "Powder_DIF_File," stores crystal structures and the PDF (Pair Distribution Function) of the material. |
|
|
| We match these files by their code in the file names and search for the **X-RAY WAVELENGTH** to convert the reciprocal pattern to a real-space pattern that aligns with our data format in SimXRD. |
|
|
| Since the **X-RAY WAVELENGTH** is essential for acquiring XRD in real space, if the **X-RAY WAVELENGTH** is missing, we substitute it with a value of 1.54 Å (angstroms). |
|
|
| The potential reasons for the observed drop in classification accuracy are as follows: |
| + File parsing may introduce minor errors. |
| + Variations in diffraction ranges (diffraction angles 2θ/lattice plane distances) may not align perfectly with the settings in SimXRD, potentially introducing additional alignment challenges. |
| + Some complex hydrated compounds in RRUFF have low purity and may not be suitable for testing. |
