Definition:
These are the standard anisotropic atomic displacement components in angstroms squared which appear in the structure-factor term T = exp{-(1/4) sum~i~ [ sum~j~ (B^ij^ h~i~ h~j~ a*~i~ a*~j~) ] } h = the Miller indices a* = the reciprocal-space cell lengths The unique elements of the real symmetric matrix are entered by row. The IUCr Commission on Nomenclature recommends against the use of B for reporting atomic displacement parameters. U, being directly proportional to B, is preferred.
