Abstract
The recently developed RITA concept combines algorithms of the Rietveld structure analysis with those from modern texture analysis in order to get texture information from d-spacing diffraction spectra. It is demonstrated for a low symmetry material (quartz) and a minimum pole sphere covering by the measured spectra. The quality of the results underlines the efficiency of this new approach especially for time-of-flight neutron diffraction studies where access to the beam is limited. New interesting aspects for crystal structure refinement are discussed.
