Ionisation of Atoms Determined by Kappa Refinement against 3D Electron Diffraction Data

The following submission contains the data reduction and processing files, dynamical refinement files, refinement files for theoretical structure factors, and CIF files of five inorganic compounds: quartz, natrolite, borane, caesium lead bromide, and lutetium aluminium garnet collected by 3D electron diffraction (3D ED) for studying ionisation of atoms by kappa refinement against 3D ED data.

The data set for quartz was collected using the precession-assisted 3D ED method and for borane, caesium lead bromide, and lutetium aluminium garnet was collected using the continuous-rotation 3D ED method. Two data sets were collected from the same crystal for natrolite using continuous-rotation and precession-assisted 3D ED method. The data reduction and processing were done using PETS2 (1) software and the dynamical refinements were performed using the JANA2020 (2) software. The refinements were performed in two primary stages: IAM refinements (without taking into consideration the effects of charge transfer between the atoms) and kappa refinements (by taking into consideration the effects of charge transfer between the atoms).

The submission also contains JANA2020 files of refinements against theoretical structure factors obtained using periodic DFT calculations and on the structure model obtained after IAM refinements of each of the experimental data sets.

The folders are divided according to the compounds. Each folder contains the relevant data reduction and processing files (PETS2 files), dynamical refinement files (JANA2020 files for IAM and kappa refinements), refinement files for theoretical structure factors (JANA2020 files for IAM and kappa refinements) and final CIF files (for IAM and kappa refinements).
