The joint probability distribution function of structure factors with rational indices. VI. Cases with reduced dimensionality

Abstract

The probabilistic formulas relating standard and mixed type reflections (these last show integral and half-integral indices) are derived. It is shown that probabilistic estimates can be obtained by using particular sections of the three-dimensional reciprocal space. The concept of structure invariant is extended to define the wider class of structure quasi-invariant. Their statistical behaviour is briefly discussed with the help of some practical tests.
