<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Define a computation that calculates x-ray diffraction intensity as described
in <a class="reference internal" href="#xrd-coleman"><span class="std std-ref">(Coleman)</span></a> on a mesh of reciprocal lattice nodes defined
by the entire simulation domain (or manually) using a simulated radiation
of wavelength lambda.</p>
<p>The x-ray diffraction intensity, I, at each reciprocal lattice point, k,
is computed from the structure factor, F, using the equations:</p>
<img alt="_images/compute_xrd1.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/compute_xrd1.jpg" />
<img alt="_images/compute_xrd2.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/compute_xrd2.jpg" />
<img alt="_images/compute_xrd3.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/compute_xrd3.jpg" />
<img alt="_images/compute_xrd4.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/compute_xrd4.jpg" />
<p>Here, K is the location of the reciprocal lattice node, rj is the
position of each atom, fj are atomic scattering factors, LP is the
Lorentz-polarization factor, and theta is the scattering angle of
diffraction. The Lorentz-polarization factor can be turned off using
the optional <em>LP</em> keyword.</p>
<p>Diffraction intensities are calculated on a three-dimensional mesh of
reciprocal lattice nodes. The mesh spacing is defined either (a)
by the entire simulation domain or (b) manually using selected values as
shown in the 2D diagram below.</p>

</a><p>For a mesh defined by the simulation domain, a rectilinear grid is
constructed with spacing <em>c</em><a href="#id1"><span class="problematic" id="id2">*</span></a>inv(A) along each reciprocal lattice
axis. Where A are the vectors corresponding to the edges of the
simulation cell. If one or two directions has non-periodic boundary
conditions, then the spacing in these directions is defined from the
average of the (inversed) box lengths with periodic boundary conditions.
Meshes defined by the simulation domain must contain at least one periodic
boundary.</p>
<p>If the <em>manual</em> flag is included, the mesh of reciprocal lattice nodes
will defined using the <em>c</em> values for the spacing along each
reciprocal lattice axis. Note that manual mapping of the reciprocal
space mesh is good for comparing diffraction results from multiple
simulations; however it can reduce the likelihood that Bragg
reflections will be satisfied unless small spacing parameters (&lt; 0.05
Angstrom^(-1)) are implemented. Meshes with manual spacing do not
require a periodic boundary.</p>
<p>The limits of the reciprocal lattice mesh are determined by range of
scattering angles explored. The <em>2Theta</em> parameters allows the user
to reduce the scattering angle range to only the region of interest
which reduces the cost of the computation.</p>
<p>The atomic scattering factors, fj, accounts for the reduction in
diffraction intensity due to Compton scattering. Compute xrd uses
analytical approximations of the atomic scattering factors that vary
for each atom type (type1 type2 ... typeN) and angle of diffraction.
The analytic approximation is computed using the formula

<p>Coefficients parameterized by <a class="reference internal" href="#peng"><span class="std std-ref">(Peng)</span></a> are assigned for each
atom type designating the chemical symbol and charge of each atom
type. Valid chemical symbols for compute xrd are:</p>

<p><strong>Output info:</strong></p>
<p>This compute calculates a global array. The number of rows in the
array is the number of reciprocal lattice nodes that are explored
which by the mesh. The global array has 2 columns.</p>
<p>The first column contains the diffraction angle in the units (radians
or degrees) provided with the <em>2Theta</em> values. The second column contains
the computed diffraction intensities as described above.</p>
<p>The array can be accessed by any command that uses global values from
a compute as input. See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span class="std std-ref">this section</span></a>
for an overview of LAMMPS output options.</p>
<p>All array values calculated by this compute are &#8220;intensive&#8221;.</p>
