Abstract

Abstract Twinning is a phenomenon complicating structure analysis of single crystals of standard as well as modulated structures. Jana2006 as a software for advanced structure analysis contains tools for recognition and refinement of twins including most complicated cases of modulated and magnetic structures. In order to efficiently use the tools of Jana2006 related to twinning, we explain the basic terminology and the underlying theory, especially the symmetry of the diffraction patterns affected by twinning. We present typical diffraction patterns of twins and show how twinning can be recognized or detected by various tools and described with twinning matrices. Data processing of twins and ways of how they can be imported to Jana2006 are also discussed. Two examples demonstrate the solution of typical twins: twinning by metric merohedry and twinning by reticular merohedry, followed by the third example demonstrating twinning in a commensurately modulated structure. The relationship between the dimensionality of the structure and twinning is discussed, too.
