Anomalous neutron scattering by crystals and the amplitudes of vibration of lattice waves

Abstract

This paper deals with the scattering of neutrons by crystals which contain at least one anomalous scatterer. It is shown that anomalous scattering studies provide a powerful method of evaluating the amplitudes of lattice waves for crystals like CdS with at least one anomalous scatterer in the unit cell.
