Dear all, Isnt it much more natural to publish only atomic coordinates in a direct space without inversion ? Therefore I propose, that publishing data in other units should be avoided. Sounds very tough. Best regards, -- Olga Smirnova Laboratoire de Cristallographie 24, quai Ernest-Ansermet

All of these problems of what to plot would go away if we all submitted powderCIF files for our refinements. The plot could then be an interactive application embedded in the electronic document and readers could select the units they want. Now this sounds interesting. Certainly the raw data

I should add about cif is that there exists a number fundamental incompatibilities between pdCIF mmCIF. One main issue, as I understand it, is that pdCIF naturally can describe multiple data sets (powder patterns) used in a single structure analysis - mmCIF seems to forbid this. This will cause

Dear Klaus-Dieter Liss, just a comment: From the beginning, I have used Q-scale internally in my programs. Including e.g. BGMN. Plus, for complete compatibility to other sciences, I use 1/nm instead of 1/Angstroem as unit of Q. So, for example the BGMN *.par files contain data in this scale/unit.

Klaus-Dieter was only proposing Q-scale plots for publishing results, Why this 2pi factor? Why not 1/d or sin(theta)/lambda. During a very brief look at SAXS it seemed at least a few authors disagree about the units, with s also appearing sometimes. It was confusing and there was a lot of

Depends on the lattice? Cubic patterns look great in old Q: eg: Tables of Q as a Function of 2theta Acta Cryst 12, 421, (1959) ... where Q was 10^4/d^2. Yes, it does en principe depend on the lattice of course :-) but 10^4/d^2 still provides a better constant peak density scale than any other

I have always preferred to see data plotted in units of Q (though Q^2 or Q^3 makes sense from a perspective of spreading peaks.) Two-theta made sense only when everyone used CuK alpha (which was never true). Personally, I would be glad to never see another plot of intensity vs. d-space.

roughly speaking, historically, Q=2pi/d is used by physicists and S=1/d used by crystallographers and these communities define their reciprocal lattices and Fourier transforms accordingly. With the 2pi in there, Q is the momentum transfer. Without it in there the Laue Equations are much
