_atom_site.U_iso_or_equiv

Name:
'_atom_site.U_iso_or_equiv'

Definition:

   Isotropic atomic displacement parameter, or equivalent isotropic
   atomic  displacement parameter, U~eq~, calculated from
   anisotropic atomic displacement  parameters.

   U~eq~ = (1/3) sum~i~[sum~j~(U^ij^ A~i~ A~j~ a*~i~ a*~j~)]

   A  = the real space cell lengths
   a* = the reciprocal space cell lengths
