Structure factors may be calculated from a list of symmetry-unique atoms by Fourier transformation of the orbit decomposition formula for the motif given in Section 1.3.4.2.2.4: i.e. finally:
In the case of Gaussian atoms, the atomic transforms are or equivalently
Two common forms of equivalent temperature factors (incorporating both atomic form and thermal motion) are
In the first case, does not depend on , and therefore: In the second case, however, no such simplification can occur: These formulae, or special cases of them, were derived by Rollett & Davies (1955), Waser (1955b), and Trueblood (1956).
The computation of structure factors by applying the discrete Fourier transform to a set of electron-density values calculated on a grid will be examined in Section 1.3.4.4.5.
