Paramètre de Flack (Fr). Parametro di Flack (It). フラック媒介変数 (Ja).
Definition
The Flack parameter is the molar fraction [math]x[/math] in the defining equation [math]C=(1-x)X + x\bar X[/math], where [math]C[/math] represents an oriented two-domain-structure crystal, twinned by inversion, consisting of an oriented domain structure [math]X[/math] and an oriented inverted domain structure [math]\bar X[/math]. In reciprocal space, the Flack parameter [math]x[/math] is defined by the structure-amplitude equation
[math]G^2(h,k,l,x)=(1-x)|F(h,k,l)|^2 + x|F({\bar h}, {\bar k}, {\bar l})|^2[/math].
For a multidomain-structure twin of a chiral crystal structure, an equivalent Flack parameter may be calculated according to the method of Flack and Bernardinelli (1999).
