Abstract
IT has been shown by Cochran1 that the ordinary process of Fourier refinement, used in X-ray structure analysis, is equivalent to minimizing the function : where f is f (h,k,l), the mean atomic scattering factor for the (h,k,l) plane ; F0 is F0 (h,k,l), the observed structure factor ; and Fc is Fc(h,k,l), the calculated structure factor.
