Special direct methods have been
developed in our group for single-crystal structure analysis. These include the direct
method for breaking enantiomorphous phase ambiguity, the direct method for breaking
the translational phase ambiguity and that for ab-initio determination of incommensurate
modulated structures. This project studies the possibility of applying the above methods
in powder diffraction analysis.
