Hi Jeff, there are quite a few implications in your brief email that each might open a long thread of discussion. As brief as possible I think one has to be a good scientist and a good crystallographier to fully understand the meaning of a crystal structure, and I think many people believe a crystal structure is just a set of coordinates.
If someone tells me some distance in yards and I assume that's about the same as a meter I will surely get some dodgy results up to creating the first car accident on Mars ;-) Cheers, Tim On 06/12/2014 07:04 PM, Jeffrey Bell wrote: > Hi, Tim, > > Thanks for your comment.
