_atom_type.number_in_cell

Name:
_atom_type.number_in_cell

Alias:
_atom_type_number_in_cell

Definition:

   
    Total number of atoms of this atom type in the unit cell.

Type: Real

Units: none


The permitted range is 0.0 → infinity

Evaluation method:

    With t as atom_type

    cnt =  0.

    Loop a  as  atom_site  {

       if ( a.type_symbol == t.symbol ) {

          cnt +=  a.occupancy * a.site_symmetry_multiplicity
    }  }
    _atom_type.number_in_cell =  cnt
