Friedel symmetry-breaking arising from anomalous scattering. (a) Structure factor of an atom which has negligible f′′: Friedel's law is satisfied. (b) Structure factor of an atom exhibiting anomalous scattering: f+ and f− are different, but their moduli are still identical. (c) Only when there is a mixture of atoms exhibiting anomalous scattering (substructure H) and atoms with negligible anomalous scattering (P) will the Friedel opposites have different intensities. |
