Parent category:
ATOM

Definition:

   
    Data items in the ATOM_ANALYTICAL category describe elemental
    composition information used in crystallographic
    structure studies.

Example:

There are three separate determinations of Si content, and one each of Al and Ti. The amount of Al is reported as the mass percent of Al2O3. The equivalent amount of Al is not given. There are four different measurements presented in this table.
