_refln.F_complex

Name:
_refln.F_complex

Alias:
_refln_F_complex

Definition:

   
    The structure-factor vector for the reflection calculated from
    the atom site data.

Type: Complex

Definition method:

              If (_diffrn_radiation.probe == "neutron")
                                              _units.code = "femtometres"
         Else If (_diffrn_radiation.probe == "electron")
                                              _units.code =  "volts"
         Else                                 _units.code =  "electrons"

Evaluation method:

         With r  as  refln

            fc  =   Complex (0., 0.)
            h   =   r.hkl

         Loop a  as  atom_site  {

                f  =   a.site_symmetry_multiplicity * a.occupancy * (
                               r.form_factor_table [a.type_symbol]      +
                              _atom_type_scat[a.type_symbol].dispersion  )

            Loop s  as  space_group_symop  {

                t   =  Exp(-h * s.R * a.matrix_beta * s.RT * h)

                fc +=  f * t * ExpImag(TwoPi *( h *( s.R * a.fract_xyz + s.T)))
         }  }
                _refln.F_complex  =   fc / _space_group.multiplicity
