Hi All,
First, thanks a lot Dave for pointing that out! I should have been more clear about the normalization.
Second, the gpar_to_tot_gen program sums partial PDFs, following Eqn. 17 in the paper mentioned by Dave, in which case our normalization factor is the FZ coefficient, i.e. $\langle \bar{b}\rangle^2$ or $(\sum_ic_ib_i)^2$ (LaTeX formatted equation).
Cheers,
yuanpeng

The normalization factor depends on the definition of the total PDF that you want to calculate. For one definition it is simply "1", for another it is <b>^2...see J. Appl. Cryst. (2001) 34 172. But there is a subtlety here as it depends whether the weighted partial PDFs are added together or whether the weighted (partial PDFs - 1) are added together (c.f. Eqtns 17 and 10 in the reference). I haven't used the program (but plan to now I know that it exists!) so I don't know which version of the summation is used, so I advise that the output is checked carefully!
Best wishes
Dave

Sorry, I forgot the normalization factor in the coefficient, which is actually the sum of the coefficient for all pairs, i. e. the Faber-Ziman coefficient.

Hello,
I apologize if this question has been asked already.
I am trying to calculate theoretical PDF by using gpar_to_tot_gen program.
I already have my partial PDF files as well.The use of this program requires knowledge of the scattering coefficients corresponding to each pair of atoms , eg for SF6, one coefficient each corresponding to S-S, S-F, and F-F pairs.
Does the scattering coefficient for the bond mean the Faber-Ziman weighting coefficients calculated as (C_a * C_b * B_a * B_b)/ <B>^2 where C_i is the concentration of atom i, B_i is the scattering length of atom i and <B> represents the average scattering length of all the atoms involved?
Thanks,
