Accuracy of Atomic Co-ordinates Derived from X-ray Data

Abstract

PREVIOUS work1,2 on this topic led to methods and formulae applicable to three-dimensional summation, and it was obviously desirable to extend this to the more limited (and usual) two- and one-dimensional cases. This has now been done, and in a paper, to appear in full elsewhere, I have obtained general results valid for the more simple types of series.
