Charge Density Study by the Analysis of High Resolution Diffraction Data • Bruker AXS diffractometer with Imus micro-focus X-Ray Source • Ag-radiation, the same sinq/l at much lower angle • Enough data redundancy for good statistics
Multipole Refinement of ZnSb in Jana 2006 • Diffraction data were collected at 100K with 2q up to 120o • Extinction and anharmonicity were refined before starting the multipole refinement • d electrons of Zn were considered as valence electrons • Multipole refinment was stopped at 2nd order (quadruple) • R=1.38% and highest peak of 0.34 e/Å3
Total Laplacian +/- 8, 4 , 2 * 10^n and n is +/- 3, 2, 1.
