Calibration to absolute intensity means that the scattered intensity is normalized with respect to both the photon flux in the primary beam and the irradiated volume V. Thereafter the scattering intensity is either expressed in terms of electron density or in terms of a scattering length density. Both definitions are related to each other by Compton s classical electron radius. 

Materials and substances are composed of particles such as molecules, atoms and ions, which in turn consist of much smaller particles of electrons, positrons and neutrons. In electrochemistry, we deal primarily with charged particles of ions and electrons in addition to neutral particles. The sizes and masses of ions are the same as those of atoms for relatively light lithiiun ions the radius is 6 x 10 m and the mass is 1.1 x 10" kg. In contrast, electrons are much smaller and much lighter them ions, being 1/1,000 to 1/10,000 times smaller (classical electron radius=2.8 x 10 m, electron mass = 9.1 x 10" kg). Due to the extremely small size and mass of electrons, the quantization of electrons is more pronoimced than that of ions. Note that the electric charge carried by an electron (e = -1.602 X 10 C) is conventionally used to define the elemental unit of electric charge.

Here I0 is the intensity of the x-ray beam, r0 = e2/mc2 is the classical electron radius (2.82 x 10 15 m)., P(9,) is the polarization of the x-rays it depends on the angle between the polarization and the scattering vector. For horizontally polarized x-rays, it takes the form P(0, < >) = 1 - sin220 sin2t)>, where 20 is the scattering angle and < > the azimuthal angle with respect to the vertical direction. The formfactor ) is the Fourier transform of the atomic electron density ... 

PROBLEM 2.11.2. Evaluate the speed of the orbital motion of an electron that has orbital angular momentum m,vr0 = h, if the mass is concentrated at the electron radius r0 estimated above either from electron-electron scattering (1(P16 m) or from its "classical radius" (2.892 x 10-15 m) or from the Compton wav elength Ac (2.426 x 10 12m). 

The unit of length, e2/me1 = 2.82 x 10-13 cm, is called the classical electron radius, because a classical distribution of charge totalling the electronic charge must have a radius of this order for its electrostatic self-energy to be equal to the electronic mass energy. This estimate of the size of an electron is crude, but still the only one available. 

The axes of the ellipsoids are a, a, and aY. classical electron radius. Numerical values obtained for the surface areas are given in Table I. It is obvious that the values for the surface area depends critically on the shape of the pores. 

Here r o = e2/47r t me2 is the classical electron radius and S(q, u) is the scattering function which reflects the properties of the unperturbed scattering system. S(q, to), which is also called the dynamic structure factor, can be expressed [van Hove 1954] by... 

Figure 1.6 Angular distribution of the scaled differential cross-section (l/r Kdo 1 VdJ ) of the first harmonic n — 1. Vanishing initial velocity fo = 0 is assumed and tq = 2.82 x 10 13 cm denotes the classical electron radius. The dotted line corresponds to the ordinary Thomson scattering cross-section.

In this equation, A9= 9- 9b is the relative incident angle. = rj )l nVc) is a scaling factor, where re = 2.818xlCf5 A is the classical electron radius and Vc is the volume of the unit cell (uc). (To separate the real and the imaginary parts of a complex quantity A, we use the notation A = A + iA", where A and A are real quantities.) From Equations (7), (9), and (10), it can be shown that the reflectivity approaches unity over a very small arc-second angular width a, defined as...
