· Acta Crystallographica
Neutron diffraction transmission techniques were used to determine experimentally the nuclear coherent scattering amplitudes of thorium, uranium, and plutonium. The thermal neutron wave-length employed was 1.391 A, and experimertal samples consisted of thin plates of ThO2, UO2, and PuO2. Nickel, with a scattering amplitude of 1.03 x 10-12 cm, was used as the calibration standard. The experimental scattering amplitudes of thorium, uranium, plutonium, and oxygen were determined to be 0.98, are in good agreement with those previously reported for thorium, uranium, and oxygen, namely, 1.01, 0.85, and 0.58 x 10-12 cm, respectively.
