Crystal Structure Refinements

Quality of Refinements

The quality of refinements can be assessed using a number of quantities:

where N is the number of data points, P is the number of variables, y is the intensity at any point in the scan, and a is the corresponding error. We found that most of our refinements were nearly as good as physically possible (chi squared ~ 1), so that the final weighted R factor, Rw, is close to the expected R factor, Rexp, implying that there are no significant unaccounted systematic errors in the data.

Origin Offset

The intermediate tetragonal phase (I41/acd) and the cubic phase (Ia3d) were refined using nonconventional unit-cell settings. In both cases, the origin was offset by a/2, relative to the standard, International Tables setting. This was so that the unit cells of all three phases would match.
