_atom_site.site_symmetry_multiplicity
Name:_atom_site.site_symmetry_multiplicity
Aliases:
_atom_site_site_symmetry_multiplicity
_atom_site_symmetry_multiplicity
_atom_site.symmetry_multiplicity
Definition:
The number of different sites that are generated by the application of the space-group symmetry to the coordinates given for this site. It is equal to the multiplicity given for this Wyckoff site in International Tables for Cryst. Vol. A (2002). It is equal to the multiplicity of the general position divided by the order of the site symmetry given in _atom_site.site_symmetry_order.
Type: Integer
The permitted range is 1 → 192
Evaluation method:
With a as atom_site mul = 0 xyz = a.fract_xyz Loop s as space_group_symop { sxyz = s.R * xyz + s.T diff = Mod( 99.5 + xyz - sxyz, 1.0) - 0.5 If ( Norm ( diff ) < 0.1 ) mul += 1 } _atom_site.site_symmetry_multiplicity = _space_group.multiplicity / mul
