Methodological review reveals enhanced crystal structure refinement using full step-scanned powder diffraction profiles, highlighting broad utility in industrial quantitative phase analysis.

Key Points

To review the development of the Rietveld method and trace its expansion from basic crystal structure refinement to industrial phase quantification.
Replaced integrated peak intensity measurements with whole-pattern, step-scanned intensity profiles.
Applied full-profile mathematical modeling to extract comprehensive crystallographic data from overlapping diffraction lines.
Revitalized powder diffraction as an effective approach for de novo and refined crystal structure determination.
Enabled high-precision quantitative phase analysis, transforming powder diffraction into a standard quality-control tool in industrial manufacturing.
