_diffrn_radiation.polarisn_ratio

Name:
_diffrn_radiation.polarisn_ratio

Alias:
_diffrn_radiation_polarisn_ratio

Definition:

   
    Polarization ratio of the diffraction beam incident on the crystal.
    It is the ratio of the perpendicularly polarized to the parallel
    polarized component of the radiation. The perpendicular component
    forms an angle of _diffrn_radiation.polarisn_norm to the normal to
    the diffraction plane of the sample (i.e. the plane containing the
    incident and reflected beams).

Type: Real
