The categories describing measurements on the crystal or crystals used in the experiment are as follows:
Categories marked with ¶ are already defined in the core CIF dictionary.
New data items in these categories are as follows:
_exptl_crystal_type_of_structure specifies the structure type as cryst (crystalline), mod (modulated) or comp (composite). These are the only three types of structure handled at present by the msCIF dictionary.
The extensions to the EXPTL_CRYSTAL_FACE category permit the indexing of crystal faces using the higher-dimensional Miller indices introduced for aperiodic structures.
