I have been having some difficulty refining LaB6 for use as an
instrumental calibration standard. I have only tried a "basic"
refinement, including scale factor, profile shapes, asymmetry,
pattern shift, and Boron multiplicity. I had read that it was closer to
about 5.8 instead of 6. My problem lies in the first two peaks. My
measured intensity is much lower than the calculated. I'm using Rietan94
by Dr. Izumi.
I'm fairly new to this and I am unsure of where to go from here. Any
suggestions? Thanks-
