It’s also important to keep in mind that, in this equation, u is the component of the displacement *in the direction of the diffraction vector*. If you assume isotropic displacements and you know the mean-squared value of the overall xyz vector displacement, you have to divide that

Hi Jonathan It's historical, it's simply how it appears in the expression for the Debye-Waller factor, i.e. exp(-B sin^2(theta)/lambda^2). So it must have the same units as lambda^2. Cheers -- Ian On Thu, 27 May 2021 at 13:25, Hughes, Jonathan < jon.hug...@bot3.bio.uni-giessen.de> wrote: >

o yes! but maybe the crystal people could explain to me why the B factor is the variance (with units of Ų) rather than the standard deviation (i.e. RMS, with units of Å) when, to my simple mind, the latter would seem be the more appropriate description of variability in space? cheers jon Von:
