The documentation says to use the hexagonal description of the unit cell and that is what I do: a=b, c, alpha=90, beta=90, gamma=120. a and b are the refinable parameters, the angles should be kept fixed. The program tries nonetheless to refine the gamma angle although its code is set to zero. The output shows however that the associated standard deviation is equal to zero. The total number of parameters is four in profile matching mode with constant relative intensities (jbt=3): one scale factor, one zero error and two cell parameters (a and b). The profile parameters are kept fixed for the moment. Who recognises this problem? Thanks in advance.

Young" [r.young@physics.gatech.edu] Subject: Re: rhombohedral space groups in Fullprof Dear Dr. Lee: This sounds like a problem you would have with DBWS. In that progra, the solution is to assign the same codeword to gamma that a and b have. The mathematical reason(in DBWS) is that the calculation is done with reciprocal space vectors.You will have ht eame problemiwth a hexagonal space group. Sincerely, Ray Young Prof. R. A.
