In 3-D, the phase difference 3'1' = 2p(hx+ky+lz)
The two waves 1 and 3 scattered from different
atomic layers have different phases, f1 and f2.
They will have different amplitudes A1and A2
if the atoms in the two planes are not the same.
The scattered x-ray intensity is
the sum of the contributions from the
different scattered waves
Two waves having the same frequency, but different amplitude
and phase can be represented as :
E1 = A1sinf1 and E2 = A2sinf2

Waves can be represented as

Structure Factor
Atomic scattering factor,
amplitude of wave scattered by an atom
f=
amplitude of wave scattered by one electron
Wave scattered with phase, 2p(hx+ky+lz)
from atoms having scattering factor, f contribute to the
Structure Factor for the Miller plane, (hkl) :
Shkl = S fn e2pi(hxn+kyn +lzn)
n represent the atoms in the basis
Shkl = S fn e2pi(hxn+kyn +lzn)

Relates to
Atom type
Intensity of x-ray scattered from an
(hkl) plane
Ihkl  Shkl2
Systematic Absences
Shkl = fA + fB e2pi(hx+ky+lz)
For body centred cubic lattice (bcc)
x = 1/2, y = 1/2, z = 1/2
2pi(hx+ky+lz) = pi(h+k+l)
(h+k+l) is even 
Shkl = fA + fB epi(h+k+l)
(h+k+l) is odd

epi(h+k+l) = +1
epi(h+k+l) = -1
If fA = fB = f
Shkl
= 2f
when h+k+l is even
=0

Fourier Synthesis
Shkl = S fn e2pi(hxn+kyn +lzn)
SK = f(r).eiK.r dr
by Fourier transformation,
 (r)  f(r) = SK.e-iK.r.dK
Structure Solution
•The Fourier map provides a structure solution
•Using the initial solution a structure factor is
calculated for each (hkl)  Shkl(calc)
•For each (hkl) there is also an experimental
structure factor  Shkl(exp)
Structure Refinement
•Least square method to carry out regression
of Shkl(calc) against Shkl(exp). Quality of
refinement represented by the r factor
•The final model used for the best Shkl(calc)
is the structure solution
