Hi Folks, Some confusion here at diamond - it seems that the amplitude of F(hkl) depends on dmin ---------------- from cctbx import xray from cctbx import crystal from cctbx.array_family import flex # 14keV wavelength = 12.3984 / 14.0 spgroup = 'Fd-3m' latt = (5.4309, 5.4309, 5.4309, 90, 90, 90) atoms = [('Si', 0.125, 0.125, 0.125)] allscatterers=[] for atom in atoms: allscatterers.append(xray.scatterer( label = atom[0], site = (atom[1], atom[2], atom[3]), u = 0)) structure = xray.structure( special_position_settings = crystal.special_position_settings( crystal_symmetry = crystal.symmetry( unit_cell = latt, space_group_symbol = spgroup)), scatterers = flex.xray_scatterer(allscatterers)).expand_to_p1() for dmin in 5.0, 2.5, 1.7: print dmin f_calculations = structure.structure_factors( d_min = dmin).f_calc().amplitudes().show_array() --------------- Chopped out only 001, 010, 100 from this... 5.0 (0, 0, 1) 0.290277589693 (0, 1, 0) 0.290277589693 (1, 0, 0) 0.290277589693 2.5 (0, 0, 1) 0.0 (0, 1, 0) 0.0 (1, 0, 0) 0.0 <snip> 1.7 (0, 0, 1) 0.278378587828 (0, 1, 0) 0.278378587828 (1, 0, 0) 0.278378587828 <snip> Have we misunderstood something?
