Beams angular analysis

The structure of a crystal is solved in three steps (Cullity, 1956). Firstly, the size and shape of the unit cell (a crystal lattice consists of identical unit cells) is found from the angular distribution of the diffraction beams. Secondly, the number of molecules per unit cell is computed from the size and shape of the unit cell, the chemical composition of the sample and the sample s measured density. Lastly, the positions of the molecules within the unit cell are deduced from the relative intensities of the diffraction beams. Data analysis, which is complex, is described by Woolfson and Fan (1995) and Clegg (2001). 

Single-Beam Technique with Velocity and Angular Analysis... 

Beam devices with provision for energy, but not angular, analysis are very attractive because of their relative simplicity. However, for the reasons given above, data so obtained must be interpreted with great care. This is particularly true at low energies, where even laboratory angular distributions may deviate appreciably from the forward direction.

In summary, the H + HD reaction shows little sign of resonance scattering in the ICS. Furthermore, the product distributions without angle resolution show no unusual behavior as functions of energy that might indicate resonance behavior. On the other hand, the forward peaking in the angular product distribution does appear to reveal resonance structure. Since time-delay analysis is at present not possible in a molecular beam experiment, it is the combination of a sharp forward peak with the unusual... 

The energy analysis of these inelastically scattered electrons is carried out by a cylindrical sector identical to the monochromator. The electrons are finally detected by a channeltron electron multiplier and the signal is amplified, counted and recorded outside of the vacuum chamber. A typical specularly reflected beam has an intensity of 10 to 10 electrons per second in the elastic channel and a full width at half maximum between 7 and 10 meV (60-80 cm l 1 meV = 8.065 cm-- -). Scattering into inelastic channels is between 10 and 1000 electrons per second. In our case the spectrometer is rotatable so that possible angular effects can also be studied. This becomes important for the study of vibrational excitation by short range "impact" scattering (8, 9, 10).
