Item _diffrn_radiation.polarisn_ratio


Description 

              Polarization ratio of the diffraction beam incident on the
               crystal. This is the ratio of the perpendicularly polarized
               to the parallel-polarized component of the radiation. The
               perpendicular component forms an angle of
               _diffrn_radiation.polarisn_norm to the normal to the
               diffraction plane of the sample (i.e. the plane containing
               the incident and reflected beams).
