PLAT051
PLAT051 Type_1 Test for difference mu(cif) with mu(calc) [%]
In the ideal case, both Mu(calc) and Mu(cif) values should be the same within a small tolerance. If not, the reason for the difference should be clear. PLATON/checkCIF calculates Mu(calc) based on mu/Rho values tabulated in the Int. Tables for wavelengths Cu(Ka), Mo(Ka) and Ag(Ka). For other wavelengths, such as those for Synchrotron, Ga(Ka) and In(Ka) sources, those values are calculated following S. Brennan & P.L. Cowan (1992). Rev. Sci. Instr., 63, 850-853. Those values may differ slightly from values calculated with alternative external tools, in particular for wavelengths near absorption edges. The mu/Rho values used by PLATON/checkCIF for other wavelengths can be listed with the PLATON instruction 'ANOM wavelength'.
