Neutron v X-rays for Structure Solution

[Ray Osborn]

The neutron scattering mailing list has been getting a few cross-postings in
a debate in the Rietveld Mailing List about the relative merits of neutron
and x-ray powder diffraction for structure solution.  This may have caused
some confusion since we were listening in to only part of the conversation.

Armel Le Bail has kindly pointed out that there is a web archive of the
Rietveld Mailing List at <http://www.mail-archive.com/rietveld_l@ill.fr/>.
As a non-crystallographer, I found the complete discussion to be well-argued
and informative so I recommend that you check it out if you've been
tantalized by the snippets you've seen.
