Charge-Flipping Algorithm

Accurate structure factor intensities can be obtained for all reflections from single crystal X-ray diffractions. Determination of crystal structure factor phases can be done through direct methods, Patterson method, charge-flipping algorithm or maximum entropy method, in combination with single crystal X-ray diffraction.

The overlapping problem of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) can be partially solved through the fast iterative Patterson squaring (FIPS), [1] repartitioning by histogram matching in a charge-flipping algorithm [2] or other methods.
