The structure factor International Tables for Crystallography (2010). Vol. B, ch. 1.2, pp. 10-23 [ doi:10.1107/97809553602060000759 ] Abstract This chapter summarizes the mathematical development of the structure-factor formalism. It starts with the definition of the structure factor appropriate for X-ray and neutron scattering, and includes the derivation of the appropriate expressions. Beyond the isolated-atom case, the atom-centred spherical harmonic (multipole) model is treated in detail. Expressions for thermal motion in the harmonic approximation and for treatments including anharmonicity are given and their relative merits are discussed. |
