ON TWO-PHONON PROCESSES IN NEUTRON DIFFRACTION AGAINST CRYSTALS

OSTI ID:4321968

The two-phonon processes in slow neutron scattering against single crystals are discussed. It is shown that in the harmonic approximation the energy distribution of neutrons scattered coherently in a certain direction in some cases has logarithmic singularities for the energies obtained in the one- phonon processes. Further there appear singularities of the same kind as Van Hove found earlier for the incoherent one-phonon scattering. To il lustrate the logarithmic singularities more explicit resuits are given for an ideal Debye crystal. A formula for the incoherent two-phonon scattering is also given, and this is applied on KCl.
