04/2006 | Zeitschrift für Kristallographie, Oldenbourg WissenschaftsverlagUsing for a one-dimensional centrosymmetric structure of m equal point scatterers an m-dimensional coordinate parameter space Pm and the (n – 1) independent ratios q(h, k) = [I′(h)/I′(k)]1/2 = g′(h)/g′(k) of n > 1 structure amplitudes observed on relative scale it is shown that the determination of the structure or possibly homometric structures is equivalent to finding the common intersection(s) of (n – 1) ≥ m independent isosurfaces Q[h, k; q] of dimension (m – 1).
A fast and efficient reduction of the parameter space to the fraction(s) of Pm that contain(s) the solution(s) can already be achieved on the basis of the qualitative inequalities between the observations...
