Dear all,
As a newbie in FullProf (and also in crystallography) I'm being
confused with the parameter "Occupation number" (Occ).
In fact, as indicated in the FullProf Manual:
/"Occupation number i.e. chemical occupancy × site multiplicity (can be
normalised to the multiplicity of the general position of the group)."/
What is the meaning of this "Occupation number" and difference between
"Occupation number" and SOF ?
Could anyone help me to explain how to find the value of chemical
occupancy, site multiplicity ? And how can the Occupation number be
"/normalised to the multiplicity of the general position of the group/" ?
I have tried to calculate for Mg2Sn (Fm3m), with Mg at the site 8c and
Sn at 4a, then Occupation number of Mg is 8/192 and that of Sn is 4/192.
Is this right ?
Thanks in advance for your any help.
