| 27 | 8. Vary atomic parameters |
|---|
| 28 | </H1> |
|---|
| 29 | Now that parameters have been appropriately constrained, they can be varied. |
|---|
| 30 | Below all atoms are selected (using a mouse drag or a right-mouse click) |
|---|
| 31 | and the "U" and "X" flags are set, so that all allowed coordinates and |
|---|
| 32 | all isotropic displacement parameters are set to be varied. Note that |
|---|
| 33 | all but the last atom are located on special positions where the |
|---|
| 34 | coordinates are fixed |
|---|
| 35 | by symmetry. |
|---|
| 36 | Thus, it makes no difference if the "X" flag is set for the |
|---|
| 37 | first five atoms. |

|---|
| 41 | The four shared-site atoms are selected and the "F" (fractional occupancy) |
|---|
| 42 | flag is set for those atoms. |

| 50 | Significant improvement is noted, both by agreement factors (see above) |
|---|
| 51 | and from the plot (below). |

|---|
| 55 | Still more improvement (see below) |
|---|
| 56 | can be obtained by allowing the first four profile |
|---|
| 57 | parameters (U, V, W and asym) and increasing the number of |
|---|
| 58 | background terms. For CW neutron |
|---|
| 59 | data, I recommend background function #1, the Chebychev polynomial function, |
|---|
| [193] | 60 | and 6-10 terms, for a fairly flat background such as this. |
