What is TOPAS-Academic
Tutorials describing the functionality of TOPAS-Academic, courtesy of John Evans, can be found here. Who is it for
Input to TOPAS-Academic - Writing INP scripts
Editors are a personal choice and it would be unwise to expect all users to settle for any particular one. However in an effort to standardize the editing of INP files and to encourage the use of a good editor and the sharing of editor macors the open source editor jEdit (licensed under GNU General Public License, GNU GPL) is recommended. Collaboration with John Evans and TOPAS WikiJohn Evans involvement in TOPAS-Academic continues with unending support. His many ideas, suggestions, tutorials and rigorous testing has led to a multitude of breakthroughs and impovements. TOPAS-Academic/TOPAS comparisonThere are no differences between the kernel of TA and Bruker-AXS TOPAS for the same version number. TA will always comprise the latest kernel. There are no differences in regards to single crystal refinement, structure solution, neutron TOF and non-standard Rietveld refinement. There are some differences in how data input is handled for peak fitting as seen in the tutorials here. For standard Rietveld refinement then TOPAS offers the use of Windows dialogs. Indexing is different but on the whole similar - again see the tutorials here.
Pricing - Single computer/user licenses on a departmental basis
