Hi All,

Can anybody advise me about the use of spherical harmonic for
modelling the prefered orientation in Rietveld refinement using
GSAS?
How many spherical harmonic terms should I use for obtaining a good fit?

Also: Is there any other method for modelling the prefered orientation
besides the traditional Rietveld-Toraya and March-Dollase functions?

Regards,


Ariel
