Modulated structures dictionary (msCIF) version 3.2.1
_atom_site_rot_Fourier.axis
Name:_atom_site_rot_Fourier.axis
Alias:
_atom_site_rot_Fourier_axis
Definition:
A label identifying the rotation component around a fixed point
of a given rigid group whose modulation is being parameterized by
Fourier series. a, b and c are the basic lattice vectors of the
reference structure. For composites they refer to the reference
structure of each subsystem. a~1~, a~2~ and a~3~ are defined by
the items belonging to the ATOM_SITES_AXES category, through
_atom_site_rot_Fourier.matrix_seq_id. Use of
_atom_sites_rot_Fourier.axes_description is deprecated and
retained only for backward compatibility.
Type: Code
The data value must be one of the following:
|
x | rotation around the a axis |
|
y | rotation around the b axis |
|
z | rotation around the c axis |
|
a1 | rotation around an arbitrary a1 axis |
|
a2 | rotation around an arbitrary a2 axis |
|
a3 | rotation around an arbitrary a3 axis |
