New analytical scattering-factor functions for free atoms and ions

Waasmaier, D., Kirfel, A.·1995·Acta Crystallographica Section A Foundations of Crystallography

Abstract

New analytical X-ray scattering-factor representations valid for the full range of sin Θ/λ from 0.0 to 6.0 Å−1 have been developed from fits of a linear combination of five Gaussians to the values of the scattering factors tabulated in International Tables for Crystallography (1992) [Vol. C. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers]. The resulting functions for both neutral atoms and ions are compared with the existing parametrizations, which are applicable for 0.0–2.0 Å−1 and 2.0–6.0 Å−1, respectively. The quality of the new parametrization involving 11 parameters per atom (ion) compares well with the previous work or is even superior. Examples are discussed, some errors in International Tables for Crystallography, Vol. C are indicated and a warning is given that most of the previously published four Gaussian expansions for ions are inadequate for calculations involving sin Θ/λ ≥ 2.0 Å−1.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
