I'm doing some diffraction pattern calculation using the Debye scattering equation, and then would like to analyse the resultant (rather broad) peak shapes in Topas.
When modelling the peak shapes, do I need to account for any of the Lorentz corrections? (relative intensity per unit length of the diffraction cone, crystals oriented favourably to diffraction, or the breadth of the diffraction cone; see Cullity 2nd ed. pp. 127-130)
I think I may have managed to overthink myself into confusion.
Thanks
Matthew

Yes, just use the Lorentz correction --> 1/(Sin(Th)^2 Cos(Th)).
Made an Fe sphere, Debye'd it, and Topas'd it. Lorentz is what you need.
