_refine_ls.extinction_coef

Name:
_refine_ls.extinction_coef

Aliases:

_refine_ls_extinction_coef
_refine.ls_extinction_coef

Definition:

   
    The extinction coefficient used to calculate the correction
    factor applied to the structure-factor data. The nature of the
    extinction coefficient is given in the definitions of
    _refine_ls.extinction_expression and _refine_ls.extinction_method.
    For the 'Zachariasen' method it is the r* value; for the
    'Becker-Coppens type 1 isotropic' method it is the 'g' value.
    For 'Becker-Coppens type 2 isotropic' corrections it is
    the 'rho' value. Note that the magnitude of these values is
    usually of the order of 10000.
