Le Bail method full saga

More than you ever wanted to know about it !
Should it be called the Taylor method (according to Rodriguez-Carvajal)? Or the Toraya method (since Taylor made in 1986-87 the same kind of calculations as Toraya in 1984) ? Or finally should it be recalled the Rietveld method (since Toraya applied exactly the Rietveld decomposition formula in its normal way) ?
Suspense has to be present in a good saga... Cling on to your seat, let's go, with a bit of grey humor !
Last updated February 2005 - Armel Le Bail

The Le Bail method is quite a small little thing, a tiny detail in the way to apply the Rietveld decomposition formula. But that tiny detail changes the horizon. Like for many things that seem obvious after their invention (you know, the wheel and so on), nobody think to it during years (20 !). Some even think today that I was not really the inventor... Let us see that.

1967-1969

Hugo Rietveld invents "A profile refinement method for nuclear and magnetic structures". A long and controversial route was opened. The two papers below were cited 501 and 3275 times, respectively, in the range 1975-2001 (Web of Science data).

1987

The idea about iterating the Rietveld decomposition formula for |F|s estimation came during a long and lonesome night experiment at ILL (Institute Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, France). It seemed so simple that my first thought was that probably either it was already done or it did not work at all. But at least everybody used it successfully for only one cycle when extracting the so-called "|Fobs|" at the end of any Rietveld refinement. These "|Fobs|" being used for RBragg calculation and Fourier difference purposes though it was long recognized that they were biased due to partitioning according to the Fcalc, hence the quotes.
Back to Le Mans (July 1987), the method was developed and tested rapidly and successfully into the ARIT Fortran Rietveld program working on a µ-VAX computer. Iterations were started from a set of arbitrarily identical |F|s instead of |Fcal|s (that choice leading to equipartition in case of strict overlapping of reflections), while the cell and profile parameters were refined in the normal way (least-square). The question of the conventional X-rays K-alpha-2 component was undertaken by constraining the alpha-1 and alpha-2 |F| extracted values to be identical for the same hkl set after every iteration. Convergence was faster with monochromatic data than with K-alpha-1,2 data, because of the above constraint. A first structure was determined during the following days, and published in 1988 [1], followed by a dozen during the next three years. These times were extremely exciting ! And the instant when a structure is solved continues to excite me a lot. But I made the error of not publishing clearly how that tiny invention worked. You always pay for your errors... But it is true that the method is completely described by a quite short and simple phrase : extracting "|Fobs|" by iterating the Rietveld decomposition formula starting from a set of arbitrarily identical |F|s.

1988

The first stucture determinations by powder diffractometry (SDPD) applying iterations of the Rietveld decomposition formula were generally made in the following way : indexing by either DICVOL or TREOR; |F|s extraction by ARIT; use of direct or Patterson methods through SHELX-76 for obtaining a starting model from either all or a part of the extracted |F|s (it was possible to remove up to 50% of the data overlapping too much when using the direct methods, and evenmore when using the Patterson method, the building of the partial data sets was made by a companion program named OVERLAP); alternating Rietveld refinement by the ARIT program and Fourier difference syntheses by SHELX-76 for completing the structure, if necessary; the final Rietveld refinement being made by using ARIT in its normal Rietveld mode. In 1988, four publications [1-4] can be listed that used this procedure, one of them made use of neutron diffraction data. There is always some delay between structure solution and publication, so that the first conference I gave about "Ab initio crystal structure determination from powder diffraction data" was in Spain, University of Valencia, in July 1988, due to some collaborative work with P. Amoros and D. Beltran-Porter on the crystal structure of phosphate compounds that were published mainly in 1988-89. The slides of that old conference are available.

1989

Meantime, a copy of the ARIT source code circulated at the ILL and its interest was recognized since the method was included into FULLPROF by Juan Rodriguez-Carvajal as soon as 1989, however, I was not informed of that before 1990. Five supplementary manuscripts [5-9] were published in 1989 that made use of the title method for structure factor amplitudes extraction, applying the ARIT software. In these publications, the method was generally described by only a few words like: "in order to obtain the maximum number of estimated individual intensities, the profile fitting procedure with cell constraints described in [1] was applied" or "Individual intensities are then extracted from the powder pattern by a profile fitting procedure which does not need any structural model but constrains the angular position of the reflections to be consistent with the cell parameters. The method used here is a new version of a modified Rietveld method [1]". One should not think that all these manuscripts were easily accepted. Some referees simply did not want to believe that the determination of these mediumly complex structures could be possible by using only powder data (for reference [5], one referee was especially difficult to convince...).

1990

By the end of 1989, D. Louër, Chairman of the Powder Diffraction Satellite Meeting of the XVth IUCr congress (and also my first thesis advisor, 1974-76), send me an invitation to deliver a lecture under the topic "Practical aspects of structure determination from powder data". As a consequence, the |F|s extraction algorithm was presented at Toulouse (16-19 July 1990) [13]. The method was described by the following statement (see the full conference text and slides) : "Once a proposition for a space group is made, the extraction of |Fobs| is realized by using a local unpublished cell constrained profile fitting program able to produce 5 < Rwp < 8%. The main originality of this program is that the individual |Fobs| are not refined in a least squares sense, but they are determined by an iterative procedure based on the so-called "|Fobs|" in all Rietveld-type refinement programs". At that time, and presented at the same congress, FULLPROF already included it [14] under the "pattern matching" name. Juan Rodriguez-Carvajal's abstract gave a reference in a curious way : "The method of "pattern matching" consist of estimating the integrated intensities of an unknown structure without using the least squares optimization. The method, which has been also used by A. Lebail (private communication), is applied by iterating the formula introduced by Rietveld to calculate the nuclear R-factor from the "observed" integrated intensities" ( see the full text). "Also" is not the word I generally use for giving a reference. After the conference (mine), D.E. Cox told me privately : "This algorithm is the most interesting new thing which I heard during this congress". Dave Cox, back to the USA, soon tested the method (probably in the PROFPV Rietveld program by B. Toby and D.E. Cox) and returned a few words on a post-it:"it works !". That post-it was accompanying a reprint which I asked to him by the end of 1990. Then, Dave Cox wrote and discussed a lot about the algorithm so that it was soon introduced into other Rietveld software like GSAS. The FULLPROF manual contained the suggestion to make reference to [14] in case of use, but did not contained any reference to me about "pattern matching". And this was confusing for years, as the "also" was confusing in reference [14]. The explanation came later.

1991

Still no publication of structure determination by powder diffractometry (SDPD) by using FULLPROF, but 1991 sees the first publication of an use of the ARIT program for SDPD purpose by a different team (Jouanneaux et al. [22]) though the final Rietveld refinement is made by the MPROF program. Then, the algorithm was included into MPROF itself by A. Jouanneaux. 1991 is also the first year for the publication of an SDPD using the algorithm inserted in another program than ARIT. Moreover, this SDPD is from a combination of synchrotron and neutron poqder diffraction data [23]. The software name is not given ("a locally modified version of the Rietveld program"), may be it was derived from PROFPV (?) by Toby and Cox, anyway, the information came obviously ftom Dave Cox at Brookhaven. That year, two other applications of ARIT were published [24-25]. The algorithm is described for the first time into a 1991 review paper by Cheetham and Wilkinson [26] with proper reference to [1] and it is said that it has been implemented into GSAS.

1992

The extraction algorithm was called probably for the first time the "Le Bail method" either in the P. Coppens book about synchrotron radiation [28], in chapter 9 written by Dave Cox, or in a paper published in Nature (1992) about the structure solution of Ga2(HPO3)3.4H2O [29], "a structure that is considerably more complex than any other structure solved using these techniques". Much more complex than this structure with "only" 29 atoms in the asymmetric unit cell has been solved from powder data during the next ten years, and the number of structures determined has increased by more than 400% in the 1992-2002 period. Certainly that 1992 year was marked by an explosion in the number of SDPDs based on |F|s extracted by iterating the Rietveld decomposition formula. Seven publications made use of the ARIT software [21-27]. The algorithm is now introduced into MPROF [28-29], GSAS [30-33], FULLPROF [34] (which was first used by D. Louër for |F| extraction and SDPD purpose), and other unnamed software [35-38]. More than 50% of the 1992 SDPDs were made by applying the Le Bail method.

This was also the APD-II (Accuracy in Powder Diffraction, May 26-29, 1992, Gaithersburg, USA) meeting year, and I was invited to give a talk about modelling anisotropic crystallite size/microstrain in Rietveld analysis [39]. I also presented a poster entitled "Extracting structure factors from powder diffraction data by iterating full pattern profile fitting" [40] in which more was shown (see the abstract and the full poster, and a picture of the group of participants). The fact is that that poster was dictated by a dermic reaction after I learned the reason why Juan Rodriguez-Carvajal did not put any reference to me into the FULLPROF manual and used the "also" during the 1990 Toulouse Powder Diffraction IUCr Satellite Meeting. By the end of 1991, I had in hands a text signed by J. Pannetier who gave a talk about "Techniques of analysis of powder diffraction patterns (X-ray & neutron)" for the training of high level students at a workshop organized at Nantes - France (September 1991, IMN, now Rouxel Institute). In the document, there was the statement: about pattern decomposition: "A more efficient algorithm has been proposed recently by Rodriguez-Carvajal: instead of including the integrated intensities in the least squares refinement, a procedure that yields huge normal equation matrices and is prone to instabilities, it makes use of the Rietveld formula to calculate by iteration the integrated intensities". It was unclear to me why J. Pannetier could believe that Rodriguez-Carvajal could be the author of the method. Knowing that Rodriguez and Pannetier shared the same office at ILL, very probably also during the period when Rodriguez included my algorithm inside FULLPROF after hearing my explanations and with the help of the ARIT source code, I decided to write directly to Rodriguez about that, rather than to J. Pannetier. After all, the lack of any reference to me inside the FULLPROF manual about "pattern matching" could be very confusing and is sufficient for believing that the FULLPROF author is also the author of "pattern matching"... The Rodriguez reply is available though in part in french, spanish and english (pages 1, 2, 3, 4). After that, I obtained the two papers by Taylor et al. cited by Rodriguez. I could understand that Rodriguez was wrong since Taylor writes in his 1986 paper that he was using the same method as Toraya in 1984 (i.e. using the Rietveld decomposition formula in the normal way, just like every Rietveld user). I obtained also Toraya's paper. This explains why citation and discussion of the Taylor et al. (1986-87) and Toraya (1984) papers appear into the abstract of my poster at the APD-II meeting, claiming that my algorithm is different. But again, this was unsufficient. No change appeared into the FULLPROF manual, even not a citation to Taylor that would be consistent with Rodriguez declarations... Well, such is life ! Toraya was at APD-II and looked accurately at the poster, without claiming to be the author of the Le Bail method... Confused ? See more about that in 1993.

Moreover, in September 1992, M. Anne was the successor to J. Pannetier at the IMN workshop, Nantes, France. And guess what ? M. Anne attributed the paternity of my |F| extraction algorithm to Taylor. I tried to explain him that this was wrong, in a personal letter. I think I failed. It seems that the whole and enormous "Powder-Grenoble-School" could not believe at all that this simple algorithm was invented by an insignifiant guy from the small "Powder-Le Mans-School". Well, such is life. I was tired of this dialogue of the deaf. I never tried to discuss again with Rodriguez about that point. This led to some surprises later, always generated by the fact that people using FULLPROF had few reasons to believe that Rodriguez was not the "pattern matching" author. Even in my own lab (not mine, the lab in which I work as a lonesome researcher), people use FULLPROF and the words "pattern matching", and some ignore that I am the author. Well I suppose than in Hugo Rietveld laboratory, few people call his method the Rietveld method. That is the same in Le Mans. Nobody call my method the Le Bail method. And this is better anyway. No one can claim to be a prophet in his own country (in french : "Nul n'est prophète en son pays").

1993

A very dense year indeed !

Publication of the Rietveld method book [53]... You have to remember that the authors were those invited to give a talk at a workshop in Petten (1989). Few authors seriously updated their manuscript so that, few is said about the Le Bail method in that book, even in the last chapter written by A.K. Cheetham.

Publication of a paper from Juan Rodriguez-Carvajal [54] entitled "Recent advances in magnetic structure determination by neutron powder diffraction". Is discussed in part in that paper the "method of profile fitting without a structural model". It is recalled "profile matching" instead of "pattern matching" as originally in FULLPROF, and it is said that "this procedure has been used first by Taylor [55-56] and Le Bail et al. [1]. OK, should we rename that method the Taylor method ? Well, in the reference given in [54] for Taylor, only one author is listed instead of three for the 1986 paper so that one may not be sure that Rodriguez has read that paper in which it is said "In 1984, Toraya et al. [57] solved and refined a large structure by decomposing Weissenberg powder data into Fo(hkl) with the Rietveld (1969) formula, and then using single crystal programs." The fact is that Taylor et al. in 1986 and Taylor in 1987 made the same as Toraya et al. in 1984 who applied the Rietveld decomposition formula in its normal way : once (not iterated) and starting from |Fcalc| coming from the structural model. Well, every guy using the Rietveld method do that without even knowing it. And this is absolutely not the Le Bail method which iterates the Rietveld decomposition formula starting from a set of arbitrarily all equal |F|s (not from |Fcalc|).

Amazingly, I received a letter from Hideo Toraya in 1993 asking me how the LBM was working. You may read these letters (1, 2, 3). It is clear from these letters that at least the method should not be renamed the Toraya method. Moreover, Toraya developped soon a method for extracting intensities by a Whole Powder Pattern Fitting (WPPF) technique with cell constraint, fully analogous to the Pawley method - but this is another story... Then I do not see how it is possible to say that "This procedure (the LBM) has been used first by Taylor" like it is stated in the Rodriguez-Carvajal paper [54].

First publication of a structure determined by using the new software EXTRACT [58] (Baerlocher), applying the LBM.

That year, I tried to publish a paper in Nature showing that there was no need for synchrotron data for solving a structure containing 29 independent atoms, because conventional X-ray proved to be sufficient for the beta-Ba3AlF9 structure. Well the Nature editor found the paper a bit controversial and suggested to publish the results elsewhere and to resubmit a shorter paper of comments about that. I agreed and submitted the crystallography results to J. Solid State Chem. as a Letter, and it was quickly accepted [63]. The comments send to Nature were again refused. Since it was a kind of criticism of a previous Nature paper, guess what, these comments were reviewed by a co-author of the paper in question (A.K. Cheetham) who rejected them...

1994

A good year for FULLPROF with nine applications [72-80] of the LBM, seven of them co-signed by D. Louër. Four applications for GSAS and one for ARIT.

The more complex structure ever solved from powder data is now La3Ti5Al15O37, with 60 independent atoms, still solved by A.K. Cheetham team [82], willing clearly to stay in pool position. From the abstract :"The applicability of powder diffraction techniques to structure determination has improved substantially in recent times, but it has only been successfully utilized in the solution of relatively simple structures of up to 29 atoms in the asymmetric unit. The structure La3Ti5Al15O37, which has 60 atoms in the asymmetric unit, has been solved using a combination of synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. This represents a considerable advance in the size of structure that has been solved using powder diffraction techniques."

A competitor appears with a bayesian modification of the Pawley method [87].

1995

EXTRA is born [93]. "Extraction of structure-factor amplitudes from a powder diffraction pattern is not a straightforward procedure. Peak overlapping and background estimation are the main obstacles to the process: they may introduce strong correlations among reflection intensities and heavy errors in their estimates. The program EXTRA is described, which, on the basis of the Le Bail algorithm, is able reliably to estimate the structure-factor amplitudes in a fully automatic way." (from the paper abstract).

Even me I started to use FULLPROF which has become more user friendly than ARIT, a "dinosaurian" software. The domination of FULLPROF continues with 15 papers [94-108]. The total number of papers published about SDPD of a previously unknown structure, using the Le Bail method, is 27, almost twice the 1994 number.

Two other new names appear on the software market that include the Le Bail method : BNLFIT and AJUST.

That year occured the famous SDPD95 workshop : I am still not recognized as being an important expert in the field, since the "principal world experts" were all invited at SDPD95 but me (see 1, 2, 3). Well, is it because the organizer was co-author of a bayesian modified Pawley method presented at the workshop ? No, this is probably pure calumny. Science is not done that way. I Hope A.K. Cheetham mentioned the Le Bail method since it was used in more than 30% (or 40% ?) of the SDPDs at that date. Such is life. A book was announced to be built up from the invited speakers papers. See 2002, seven years later, for the publication of that book. Fortunately, fishes do not wait that long for being on your table, or they are frozen at least.

1996

AJUST is officially born [166] : "a new recursive formula for the estimation of the integrated intensities of partially overlapping peaks, using the same philosophy as the Le Bail method, is derived. It is extremely robust, allowing to introduce zero valued initial estimates of the integrated intensities."

Abstract from R.B. Von Dreele [171] (Rietveld analysis of high pressure powder diffraction data  HIGH PRESSURE RESEARCH 1996, Vol 14, Iss 4-6, pp 321-326) : "X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data obtained from samples contained within high pressure cells are generally of lower quality than data collected from samples at ambient conditions. The far smaller sample size as well as possible contamination of the pattern by the pressure cell means that Rietveld refinement techniques must be adapted to extract the maximum useful information from the data. These problems become paramount as larger structures at high pressure are attempted. Techniques such as ''leBail extraction'', ''soft restraints'' and ''rigid body refinement'' will be discussed with application to analysis of high pressure neutron powder diffraction data. "

That year, there are more papers citing [1] in reviews or for different applications (essentially for doing powder diffraction fits without structure) than SDPDs.

1997

The LBM saga is not finished yet. Last but not least : EXTRA, introduced in 1995 and a few years later into the EXPO package shows here its first applications in association with SIRPOW. One day, probably in 1995 (?)  I was phoned by C. Giacovazzo who asked me in an excellent french what was the difference between the LBM and the "pattern matching" in FULLPROF. Well, I replied "nothing", this is the same and unique Le Bail method. He was surprised since there was no reference into the FULLPROF manual. I said that I was surprised too. Such is life.The Italian team worked a lot about the Le Bail method, and published many papers in the Journal of Applied Crystallography, mainly.

Some teams may use combinations (or successive use) of two software (EXTRA/FULLPROF), even sometimes Pawley and Le Bail method in the same manuscript (EXTRA/ALLHKL).

Special applications of the Le Bail method have extended to orientation distribution functions (ODF) or maximum entropy techniques for years already. In a 1997 paper by R.B. Von Dreele (J. Appl. Cryst. 30, 1997, 517-525) one can read in the introduction: "A new approach has recently been described by Wenk, Matthies & Lutterotti (1994) and Matthies, Lutterotti & Wenk (1997), in which fitting of neutron TOF diffraction data by the Le Bail modification (Le Bail, Duroy & Fourquet, 1988) of the Rietveld method is coupled with a procedure, WIMV (Matthies & Vinel, 1982), having some features in common with maximum-entropy techniques, to produce a description of the ODF. However, simultaneous evaluation of the crystal structure and the texture is precluded in this procedure by use of the Le Bail method in the Rietveld refinement.".

2001

A visit at the Web of Science in April 2001 gave 293 citations for paper [1] (see the list) (some citations may be negative...) and 441 for the Juan Rodriguez-Carvajal paper [42]. Most review papers about SDPD are citing reference [1]. You may be sure that papers using the LBM do not cite all the right reference [1]. Just like for the Rietveld method, the LBM can be used wihout any reference, or giving the software reference only (FULLPROF, GSAS, etc), or just telling "the structure factor amplitudes were extracted by the Le Bail method".

Altomare et al. [353] propose a modification of the Le Bail method. To become the Altomare method ? See APD-III and her abstract (.doc file).

2002

SDPD book based on the SDPD95 congress available ? I still have not it in hands, but I pre-ordered it several months ago...

Invitation to give a keynote lecture about SDPD at EPDIC-8. Unfortunately, a serious car accident, September 29, 2001, has consequences that led me to decline. Same for ACA 2002.

Lachlan Cranswick asked me for the Le Bail method (hi)story, opening the Pandora box - submitted to IUCr XIX, Geneva.

Conclusions (which you may contest)

As this can be easily achieved in almost any Rietveld program, the Le Bail method caused a marked and radical increase in the ability to solve structures from powder diffraction data. Examples of the power of the Le Bail method include the ability for whole profile unit cell refinement involving overlapping reflections, extraction of |F|hkls for structure solution and space group determination.  Le Bail fitting is considered as standard functionality in any modern Rietveld software, including the present recommendation to Le Bail fit the powder pattern prior to structure solution or even prior to structure refinement.

Not sure if a politics of controlled software and secret algorithm would have led to such a large spread in the use of the method. The Internet was used as a vehicle since 1993-1994 by FTP and 1995 on the Web. Books that are published 4-7 years after the meeting of the authors are probably not the more efficient way today for a fast distribution of innovations.
