Figure 4
Phasing through symmetry-breaking effects. If the reflections h and h′ are symmetry-related, the wave scattered by the unknown part of the structure [P(h)] is identical (possibly up to a fixed phase shift; see Appendix A[link]) for both reflections. However, symmetry-breaking effects that specifically affect the substructure will give rise to measurable amplitude differences between symmetry-related reflections.
