The displacive distortion of a given atom or rigid group (see also _atom_site_rot_Fourier_param_sin) is usually parameterized by Fourier series. Each term of the series commonly adopts two different representations: the sine-cosine form, Ac cos(2\p k r)+As sin(2\p k r); and the modulus-argument form, |A| cos(2\p k r+\f); where k is the wave vector of the term and r is the atomic average position. _atom_site_displace_Fourier_param_sin is the sine coefficient (As) corresponding to the Fourier term defined by _atom_site_displace_Fourier_atom_site_label, _atom_site_displace_Fourier_axis, and _atom_site_displace_Fourier_wave_vector_seq_id. Atomic or rigid group displacements must be expressed as fractions of the unit cell or in angstroms if the modulations are referred to some special axes defined by _atom_sites_displace_Fourier_axes_description.
