NEUTRON SCATTERING FROM A LIQUID ON A JUMP DIFFUSION MODEL

Journal Article · · Proc. Phys. Soc. (London)

The incoherent inelastic scattering cross section of Slow neutrons from liquids is calculated using a simple model in which the liquid is assumed to have appreciable short-range order in a quasi-crystalline form. Diffusive motion takes place in large discrete jumps, between which the atoms oscillate as in a solid. The model predicts a definite, easily calculable cross section that is not dominated by diffusion effects as when continuous diffusion is assumed but shows a characteristic variation with angle which oould be looked for experimentally. A brief discussion of the coherent scattering cross sections for the model is given although explicit formulas are not obtained. (auth)
