SOPAD

Separation of Overlapping Peaks and Analysis of Derivatives


SOPAD was developed for performing the separation of overlapping peaks and the analysis of derivatives of x-ray diffraction data. In qualitative and quantitative x-ray diffraction problems, overlapping profiles introduce difficulties that prevent an accurate determination of both peak positions and the areas of the diffraction peaks. This problem is prevalent in complex multi-element alloys and in certain metal matrix composites because of the large number of phases present. SOPAD helps the analyst to get the most information out of the available diffraction data.
