Ewald sum and self energy?

11 November 2017 0 8K Report

In the Ewald method, the last two terms , the Kspace term and the self energy, correspond to energy of interacting Gaussian distributed charges. The Kspace term goes as 1/L where L is the side length of the unit cell and tend to zero for very large box, then the self energy remains. This looks inconsistent or not?

Why the CHi^2 is close to zero with a bad fitting but the Rp and Rwp are still high?

I am refining my XRD data using in FullProf program. The intensity of the modulated X-ray peaks is almost flat. I tried to adjust the peak intensities but unsuccessful. What is the reason? I guess...

Can we use a compensation matrix with single staining that the negative population for each single staining is below zero?

Recently we used single staining to make a compensation matrix. But, for each single staining we saw that 13 to 25 percent of our negative population had been shown below Zero. In this situation...
