Temperature fits over 13–838 K of the independent displacement ellipsoid matrix elements of the prototype Si atom. They are the same for dextro α-quartz in the z(+) setting and for laevo α-quartz in the z(−) setting. Because of the twofold site symmetry, β12 = β22/2 and β13 = β23/2. To convert to the obverse r settings, switch the signs of β13 and β23 as shown in Table 8. |
