Dear CP2K Community,
I am interested in extracting the (complex) static structure factors for
X-ray and electron scattering of geometrically optimised structures using
CP2K. The keyword XRAY_DIFFRACTION_SPECTRUM
<https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/DFT/PRINT/XRAY_DIFFRACTION_SPECTRUM.html>prints
out the data needed to calculate an X-ray powder diffraction pattern.
However, only structure factor amplitudes as a function of resolution
(shell) are given. I assume that in the background the static structure
factors are calculated, but I do not know if these can be exported to some
kind of hkl file.
Question: Is it possible to get a list of h,k,l and/or g-vector with the
(complex) structure factors (within a certain resolution limit) either
based on the electron density (for X-ray diffraction) or electrostatic
potential (for electron diffraction)?
Finally, I am interested in comparing DFT-based electrostatic potential
maps with maps based on the independent atom model.
Best regards,
Paul
