Abstract

The subject of the paper is the old and well-known linear least squares method for determining the lattice dimension of a crystalline phase from the peak locations of a powder diffraction pattern. Approximations, limits, and extensions of the method are discussed with reference to the assignment of hkl indices to an experimental multiphase pattern.
