Description
"""""""""""

Define a computation that calculates electron diffraction intensity as
described in :ref:`(Coleman) <saed-Coleman>` on a mesh of reciprocal lattice nodes
defined by the entire simulation domain (or manually) using simulated
radiation of wavelength lambda.

The electron diffraction intensity I at each reciprocal lattice point
is computed from the structure factor F using the equations:

.. image:: Eqs/compute_saed1.jpg
   :align: center

.. image:: Eqs/compute_saed2.jpg
   :align: center

Here, K is the location of the reciprocal lattice node, rj is the
position of each atom, fj are atomic scattering factors.

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.

.. image:: JPG/saed_mesh_small.jpg
   :target: JPG/saed_mesh.jpg
   :align: center

For a mesh defined by the simulation domain, a rectilinear grid is
constructed with spacing *c*\ \*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.

If the *manual* flag is included, the mesh of reciprocal lattice nodes
will defined using the *c* 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 <0.05 Angstrom\^(-1) are implemented.
Meshes with manual spacing do not require a periodic boundary.

The limits of the reciprocal lattice mesh are determined by the use of
the *Kmax*\ , *Zone*\ , and *dR\_Ewald* parameters.  The rectilinear mesh
created about the origin of reciprocal space is terminated at the
boundary of a sphere of radius *Kmax* centered at the origin.  If
*Zone* parameters z1=z2=z3=0 are used, diffraction intensities are
computed throughout the entire spherical volume - note this can
greatly increase the cost of computation.  Otherwise, *Zone*
parameters will denote the z1=h, z2=k, and z3=l (in a global since)
zone axis of an intersecting Ewald sphere.  Diffraction intensities
will only be computed at the intersection of the reciprocal lattice
mesh and a *dR\_Ewald* thick surface of the Ewald sphere.  See the
example 3D intensity data and the intersection of a [010] zone axis
in the below image.

The atomic scattering factors, fj, accounts for the reduction in
diffraction intensity due to Compton scattering.  Compute saed 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

Coefficients parameterized by :ref:`(Fox) <Fox>` are assigned for each
atom type designating the chemical symbol and charge of each atom
type. Valid chemical symbols for compute saed are:

If the *echo* keyword is specified, compute saed will provide extra
reporting information to the screen.

**Output info:**

This compute calculates a global vector.  The length of the vector is
the number of reciprocal lattice nodes that are explored by the mesh.
The entries of the global vector are the computed diffraction
intensities as described above.

The vector can be accessed by any command that uses global values from
a compute as input.  See the :doc:`Howto output <Howto_output>` doc page
for an overview of LAMMPS output options.

All array values calculated by this compute are "intensive".

Restrictions
""""""""""""


This compute is part of the USER-DIFFRACTION package.  It is only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package.  See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc page for more info.

The compute\_saed command does not work for triclinic cells.
