[sdpd] Help with quantitative analysis



I am studying a gradual phase transformation A-> B + C where A and B can not be distinguished by microscopy. I want to quantify A (cubic) and B (tetragonal)by X-ray diffraction but I have a problem.

The experimental pattern shows full overlap of all main peaks (between 10° and 120°). I have not gotten good fits in the Rietveld refinement because the alloy (in plates) has high concentrations of defects (stacking faults, precipitates ...)
 
I simulated patterns for different mixtures of A and B (through scale factor in GSAS) with the goal of building a calibration curve for some peaks. However since I can not differentiate between the peaks, the calibration curve is useless.

Thank you in advance
