Item _refine.ls_extinction_coef


Description

              The extinction coefficient used to calculate the correction
               factor applied to the structure-factor data. The nature of the
               extinction coefficient is given in the definitions of
               _refine.ls_extinction_expression and
               _refine.ls_extinction_method.

               For the 'Zachariasen' method it is the r* value; for the
               'Becker-Coppens type 1 isotropic' method it is the 'g' value,
               and for 'Becker-Coppens type 2 isotropic' corrections it is
               the 'rho' value. Note that the magnitude of these values is
               usually of the order of 10000.
