Electron density dictionary (rhoCIF) version 1.0.1
Revision history
1999-07-07 Created as rhoCIF dictionary by P.R. Mallinson. 2000-10-13 Simplified CIF structure into two loops, corresponding to newly-defined categories atom_rho and atom_local. Introduced reference to multipole formalism, more rigorous definition of local axis systems, and rationalised definition of dummy atoms. Clarified example of use of dummy atom. 2000-10-16 Additions and changes made by I.D.Brown to bring the dictionary into better conformance with the other CIF dictionaries. Category definitions added. Category names changed to atom_local_axes and atom_rho_multipole. Items ordered alphabetically. 2000-10-18 Removed ambiguities in description of _ATOM_LOCAL_AXES. Individual items in this category defined separately. Definition of core population Pc added. Substituted new example, with literature reference. 2000-10-20 Version 0.5. I.D.Brown. Corrected datanames and some spelling. added the equation for the electron density to the definition. 2000-10-23 Further clarification of _ATOM_LOCAL_AXES definition. 2002-03-04 Version 0.61. I.D.Brown. Addition of parent links and enumeration lists. 2002-10-18 Version 0.62. I.D.Brown. Further additions to the atom_rho_multipole category based on input from Paul Mallinson. Tightening up of definitions. _atom_local_axes_label changed to _atom_local_axes_atom_label to conform to CIF style. 2002-10-31 Version 0.63. P.R. Mallinson and I.D. Brown. Amended descriptions of rho_core(r) and rho_valence(kr) in definitions which refer to them. 2002-11-20 Version 0.64. P.R. Mallinson and I.D. Brown. Changed names _atom_rho_multipole_scat_*_source to _atom_rho_multipole_*_source. 2003-06-04 Version 0.65. P.R. Mallinson. Changed kappa', kappa" nomenclature to kappa, kappa'. 2003-06-14 Version 0.66. B. McMahon. Fixed a few typos; added a _definition for _atom_site_label explaining its extension to the core definition; added _definition to the category overviews; tidied up layout and other stylistic edits. 2003-07-02 Version 0.67. P.R. Mallinson. Expanded category overview definitions and _atom_rho_multipole_*_source definitions. Specified summation ranges in expressions used in _atom_rho_multipole_* definitions. 2003-07-11 Version 0.68. B. McMahon. Implemented Paul's fix for index ranges -l <= m <= l, and moved the example in the *_source items as suggested by IDB. 2003-08-19 Version 0.69. I.D.Brown. Made minor corrections suggested during final COMCIFS approval which was received on this date. 2003-08-19 Release version 1.0. IUCr. 2005-01-20 NJ Ashcroft: minor corrections to hyphenation, spelling and punctuation. 2005-06-14 NJ Ashcroft: category overview added for ATOM_SITE category.
