Table 2.1.8.1 | top | pdf |
Atomic contributions to characteristic functions for [p(|E|)]

The table lists symbolic expressions for the atomic contributions to exact characteristic functions (abbreviated as c.f.) for [p(|E|)], to be computed as single Fourier series (centric), double Fourier series (acentric) and single Fourier–Bessel series (acentric), as defined in Sections 2.1.8.1[link] and 2.1.8.2[link]. The symbolic expressions are defined in Section 2.1.8.5[link]. The table is arranged by point groups, space groups and parities of the reflection indices analogously to the table of moments, Table 2.1.7.1[link], and covers all the space groups and statistically different parities of hkl up to and including space group Fd [\bar{3}]. The expressions are valid for atoms in general positions, for general reflections and presume the absence of noncrystallographic symmetry and of dispersive scatterers.
