XRDCALC is a Windows powder diffraction utility for identifying phases, calculating and plotting powder diffraction data. XRDCALC calculates d-spacings and two-theta and plots digital scan files, two-theta or d-spacing vs intensity stick plots and peak profiles. Designed for mineral powder diffraction data.

Spreadsheet
Data can be sorted by d-spacing, two-theta, intensity or crystal name. Convert between two-theta and d-spacing. Calculations are solved using wavelengths selected from a list or entered via the keyboard. There is numeric formatting of two-theta and d-spacing, a multiple document interface, search/replace and clipboard support. Spreadsheet functions include extract and refine peaks and search/match.
Plot Scan Files
Plots ASCII, RRuff (*.ruff), Sietronics (.cpi), DBW (.dat) and ScanPI (.dat) scan files as digital xrd pattern plots. Choice of fonts, colors and labels. Extracts peaks and performs search/match. Plot overlay scan file.
Stick Plots and Peak Profiles
Select from two-theta vs intensity or d-spacing vs intensity stick plots or peak profiles. The scale can be calculated automatically or set manually. Choose from d-spacing, two-theta, intensity, crystal name, code or user specified labels. Labels can be placed on any number of sticks. Auto color assigns a different color to each crystal. stick widths are adjustable. Sticks can be marked in different colors and linestyles. Normal or extra wide graphs. Peak profiles plots peaks as curves.
Printing
Print stick plots, peak profiles or scan files. Graphs can be customized with labels and graph titles.
Mineral XRD Database
Built in Mineral XRD Database for all minerals. With strongest 3 d-spacings and mineral name. Search 3 strongest d-spacings and mineral name and print search results.
