_atom_site_aniso_B_

Definition:

   These are the standard anisotropic atomic displacement
   components in angstroms squared which appear in the 
   structure-factor term

   T = exp{-(1/4) sum~i~ [ sum~j~ (B^ij^ h~i~ h~j~ a*~i~ a*~j~) ] }

   h = the Miller indices
   a* = the reciprocal-space cell lengths

   The unique elements of the real symmetric matrix are
   entered by row.

   The IUCr Commission on Nomenclature recommends against the use
   of B for reporting atomic displacement parameters. U, being
   directly proportional to B, is preferred.
