As a product of the curve fitting process, peakfit reports amplitude intensity. The gaussian function is possibly the bestknown peak function in the whole of science since many physical and chemical processes are governed by gaussian statistics. Peakfit includes 18 different nonlinear spectral application line shapes, including the gaussian, the lorentzian, and the voigt, and even a gaussian plus compton edge model for fitting gamma ray peaks. What i dont understand is how to determine the ycoordinate of the peak. In the plot below, this is the peak around 4967 ev. As an example, consider the small peak that appears just before the main rising part of the edge in the perovskite pbtio 3. The residuals procedure initially places peaks by finding local maxima in a smoothed data stream. It also has a mechanism for fitting a model that is the sum or product of two function, and can even create a model that consists of the convolution of two functions. Translated into powder diffraction terms, the function for the intensity at any value of 2.
