The precision of this technique is reported as an "R factor," which is a normalized difference in structure factors.
Hermann–Mauguin notation is unusually preferred to Schöenflies ("SHOW"-un-flees) point group notation when using this technique. Isomorphous replacement of uranium improves this technique's results. The precision of this technique is reported as an "R factor," which is a normalized difference in structure factors. The analyte is ground into a powder in the Debye–Scherrer (deh-BYE SHUR-ur) form of it. Dorothy Hodgkin was a pioneer of this technique, which occurs in a goniometer (goh-nee-AH-met-ur) that spins the sample tube so that one can find the glide planes, the screw axes, and the Miller indices. The von Laue (vawn LAW-uh) and Bragg equations give mathematical backing for this technique, which is used to solve protein structures. For 10 points, name this analytical technique in which high-energy radiation diffracts through an ordered sample.
