_atom_site.U_equiv_geom_mean

Name:
_atom_site.U_equiv_geom_mean

Alias:
_atom_site_U_equiv_geom_mean

Definition:

   
    Equivalent isotropic atomic displacement parameter, U(equiv),
    in angstroms squared, calculated as the geometric mean of
    the anisotropic atomic displacement parameters.

           U(equiv) = (U~i~ U~j~ U~k~)^1/3^

    U~n~ = the principal components of the orthogonalized U^ij^.

Type: Real

Units: angstrom_squared


The permitted range is 0.0 → infinity
