Excited Structure Analyzed by Equilibrium Method

However, the extent of the bond elongation or shrinkage is somewhat smaller than the predicted one by the theoretical calculation. Since the molecules in a crystal are closely packed with the neighboring molecules, it is naturally expected that 

If any change occurs in a crystal, the diffraction data may be changed. It is possible to detect the time-resolved diffraction data by the stroboscopic method. However, any strucmral change cannot be obtained from the diffraction data using Fourier transform technique before the change extends to all the unit cells and the periodic lattice structure is reconstructed. There is an essential difference between
