A charge-flipping algorithm incorporating the tangent formula for solving difficult structures

A. A. Coelho

Synopsis: An algorithm is described that incorporates the direct-methods tangent formula into the structure solution method of charge flipping and the subsequent avoidance of `uranium atom' solutions.
