Figure 2.3.1.1
Effect of `sharpening' Patterson coefficients. (1) shows a mean distribution of values with resolution, . The normal decline of this curve is due to increasing destructive interference between different portions within diffuse atoms at larger Bragg angles. (2) shows the distribution of `sharpened' coefficients. (3) shows the theoretical distribution of produced by a point-atom structure. To represent such a structure with a Fourier series would require an infinite series in order to avoid large errors caused by truncation. |
