Based on International Tables for Crystallography, Vol. C. Table 6.1.1.4. Coefficients for analytical approximation to the scattering factors

  • E: exact
  • C: correlated
  • HF: non-relativistic Hartree-Fock by Thakkar & Smith (1992) and Cromer & Mann (1968)
  • RHF: relativistic Hartree-Fock based on the calculations of Doyle & Turner (1968) using the wavefunction of Coulthard (1967)
  • *RHF: relativistic Hartree-Fock based on the calculation of Cromer & Waber (1968) using the wavefunctions of Mann (1968)
  • *DS: modified Dirac-Slater by Cromer & Waber (1968)

The atomic scattering factor for X-rays, (f), can be approximated as follows:
$$ f(\sin\theta/\lambda) = \sum_{i=1}^4 a_i \exp(-b_i \sin^2\theta/\lambda^2)+c$$
