Comment on the Debye-Waller factors for incommensurate structures

Materials Science 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show that the method of calculations of the Debye-Waller factors for IC structures by J.D. Axe, Phys. Rev. (1971), B 21, 4181, is not applicable for such calculations. The set of variables, which should be used for such calculations, is the phase ϕ\phi and the amplitude of the IC modulation, but not the real and imaginary parts of the complex IC modulation function.
