PROGRAM SFLSQ

Least squares refinement from measured structure factors

Description:

Main program for least squares refinement of structure factors.
Extinction corrections can be included and the extinction parameters refined.
Geometric slack constraints can be included (see chaper 5 of the CCSL users manual and the documentation of program BONDS)

Input:

The crystal data file must contain all cards needed for structure factor calculations vis:
S cards giving the symmetry.
A C card with the cell dimensions.
A cards defining the atoms, their positions and isotropic. temperature factors.
F cards giving the scattering factors
optionally:
T cards giving anisotropic temperature factors

Additionally:
L cards indicating which parameters should be refined
(see the CCSL users' manual)

I cards which may have the words words NCYC, CYCL1, PRIN,
MCOR and CONV.
NCYC the number of least squares cycles (default 3)
CYC1 the number to be assigned to the first cycle (default 1)
PRIN frequency at which output lists are printed
PRIN = 0 no printing
PRIN = 1 first cycle
PRIN = 2 last cycle
PRIN = 3 first and last cycles
PRIN = 4 every cycle

MCOR controls the correlations printed at tyhe end of the job
(default +70)
MCOR = 0 whole correlation matrix printed
MCOR = -ve no printing
MCOR = +ve correlations above MCOR printed

CONV convergence criterion; LSQ cycling is terminated if the
maximum shift/esd < CONV (default 0.01)

The data file which should be a list of hkl and the measured structure factors as implied by the L MODE card .

Output:

The usual listing file reporting the data which have been read. This file also contains the output listings requested by the I PRIN card as well as the R-factors and chisqrd at the end of each least squares cycle.
A new crystal data file corresponding to the structure at the end of the least squares refinement.

Notes:

The EXTERNAL parameters DFLTSF,DUMMY,PARRUN,LFCALC,VARSSF,DUMPAR are the names of routines called to set parameters and carry out calculations which may be different in different types of LSQ. For further
Information see chapter 5 of the CCSL manual.

Running the program:

On running the program the user is asked for the name of the crystal data file and the name of the file containing the structure factor data.
The value of \$\chi^2\$ at the end of each cycle is reported on the terminal.
After the last cycle user is asked for a name for the new crystal data file.
