ON THE APPLICATION OF HEAVY ATOM INFORMATION IN DIRECT METHODS——PHASE ESTIMATION OF THE STRUCTURE FACTORS IN CRYSTALS CONTAINING HEAVY ATOMS

Information drawn from the heavy atom plays an important role in the determination of crystal structures containing heavy atoms. To what extent would the determination proceed successfully depends on how the heavy atom information should be used. In this paper a new procedure is proposed to make full use of the heavy atom information and make the combination between heavy atom method and direct method more efficient.
