4 NOTA Determinare una struttura cristallografica ab-initio (metodi diretti) da misure XRPD è cosa molto difficile, complessa e delicata**. Piú normale è "raffinare" le informazioni strutturali a partire da modelli, ipotesi e conoscenze a-priori sul campione. ** Structure determination from Powder diffraction data Harris, K.D.M., M.
