S02 = 0.9 fixed; f = fixed; fitting k-range ~ 2.8 – 12.5 Å−1 (solutions A*, A – E) and ~ 3.0 – 13.7 Å−1 (solutions B* – E*). Estimated error limits for R is ± 0.04 Å and for σ2 ± 0.002 Å2; refined N accuracy within ± 20 %.
Selected model shown in Figure 6; the fitting residual improved from 27.3 (PbS3) to 26.9 (PbS2S′ Pb) for solution A, and from 20.7 to 19.0 for solution A*.
