XPeakTools is a collection of softwares that are useful for rapid data analysis of large diffraction data sets. You do not need to subscribe to download the software. However, if you subscribe, you will get full access for the materials in the website (any email address is fine! it does not have to be a google email account). After sending membership request, it could take couple of hours to coule of days to get access to this website (sorry, I cannot check this website as frequently as I want). If you subscribe, you will receive emails from me whenever new updates are available, so that you can be up-to-date.

XPGOLD Ver 1.0
This program calculates pressure for given volume and temperature using different equations of states of gold (Jamieson et al., 1982, Heinz and Jeanloz, 1984, Anderson et al., 1989, and Shim et al., 2002). Current version also calculates uncertainty in calculated pressure for Shim's gold scale.
XPMGO Ver 1.0
This program calculates pressure for given volume and temperature using different equations of states of MgO (Jamieson et al., 1982, and Speziale et al., 2000). Current version also calculates uncertainty in calculated pressure for Speziale's MgO scale.
XPEAKPO
This program plots X-ray diffraction patterns (both energy-dispersive and angle-dispersive patterns) and JCPDS cards together for peak identification. Peak positions at high pressure are calculated using equations of state. Many other features are also included: zooming in/out, printing patterns, viewing JCPDS tables, displaying Miller indices and peak positions for individual peaks, and so on. Up to 7 JPCDS files can be plotted simultaneously.
XPEAKFIT
This program performs peak fitting for diffraction patterns or spectra (Symmetric and Asymmetric Gaussian, Lorentzian, and Pseudo-Voigt profile shape functions). It provides almost all the features which other commercially available peak fitting programs do. One of the powerful features of this program is that it accepts patterns with irregular data steps. Also very fast!
