UB Tools with Silicon Data#

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the UB tools in NeuXtalViz to process TOPAZ silicon data.

Step 1: Select Instrument and Data#

Set the instrument to TOPAZ.
Enter IPTS number: 36169.
Enter run number: 54145.
Click Convert to load and convert the data.

Step 2: Find Peaks#

Adjust peak finding parameters as needed:
Max peaks
Density threshold
Min distance
Click Find to identify candidate peaks.

Step 3: Primitive Cell Calculation#

Set tolerance and constraints for cell finding.
Click Primitive to calculate the primitive cell.

Step 4: Select Conventional Cell#

Select the desired cell from the table.
Click Select to set the conventional cell.

Step 5: Refine UB Matrix#

Switch to the UB Refinement tab.
Set the cell constraint (e.g., Cubic).
Click Refine to optimize the UB matrix.

Step 6: View Peak#

Switch to the Peaks tab.
Select a peak from the table to view its details.

Step 7: Slice View#

Switch to the Slice tab.
Adjust slice parameters and click Slice to view the slice in HKL space.
