Notes:
If dispersive atoms are present the structure factor of a centrosymmetric crystal is not purely real, and the probability distribution of the modulus of the structure factor becomes P(F)dF = ( 2F/μ) exp (-ΣF2/μ2)I0(SF2/μ2)dF, where Io is the modified Bessel function of zero order, Σ is the sum of the squares of the moduli of the atomic scattering factors, S is the modulus of the sum of their squares, and μ is (Σ2 - S2)1/2. For a non-centrosymmetric crystal the form of the distribution is not altered, but Σ must be defined as in the preceding sentence.
