Category ATOM_SITE_DISPLACE_FOURIER

Name:
'_atom_site_displace_Fourier_[]'

Definition:

   Data items in the ATOM_SITE_DISPLACE_FOURIER category record
   details about the Fourier components of the displacive modulation
   of an atom site in a modulated structure. In the case of rigid
   groups, items in this category would only include the
   translational part of the modulation. The rotational part would
   appear in a separate list of items belonging to the
   ATOM_SITE_ROT_FOURIER category. The (in general complex)
   coefficients of each Fourier component belong to the category
   ATOM_SITE_DISPLACE_FOURIER_PARAM and are listed separately.

Examples:

Example 1 - based on the modulated structure of inorganic misfit layer (LaS)~1.14~NbS~2~ [Smaalen, S. van (1991). J. Phys. Condens. Matter, 3, 1247-1263].
