The superstructure of C3S from synchrotron and neutron powder diffraction and its role in quantitative phase analyses
TL;DR: In this article, the room temperature MIII form of alite stabilised by doping with Mg and Al was synthesized and the complex disordered superstructure of this tricalcium silicate [Ca3SiO5 (C3S)] sample has been studied by a joint Rietveld refinement of ultra-high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, medium-resolution neutron powder diffusion data and soft constraints of interatomic distances.

Increment in evolution of cellulose crystallinity analysis
TL;DR: French et al. as mentioned in this paper used the Rietveld method for cellulose crystallinity analysis, which includes the smaller peaks that are lost in what appears to be the background or amorphous scattering.
