abtem.atoms.B_to_sigma(B)[source]#

Convert crystallographic B-factor to displacement standard deviation.

The r.m.s. displacement sigma is related to the B-factor by σ = sqrt(B / (8π²)).

Parameters:

B (float or ndarray) – B-factor [Ų]. Accepts scalars, (3,) arrays for anisotropic displacements, or any broadcastable shape.

Returns:

Displacement standard deviation [Å].

Return type:

float or ndarray
