X-rays and neutrons for diffraction studies<br />

Property X-rays Neutrons<br />

General<br />

nature of<br />

scattering by<br />

atoms<br />

Magnetic<br />

scattering<br />

Electronic<br />

Regular increase of<br />

scattering amplitude<br />

(f) with atomic number<br />

(Z), calculable from<br />

known electronic<br />

configurations.<br />

No differences<br />

among isotopes.<br />

No additional<br />

scattering.<br />

Nuclear<br />

Irregular variation of<br />

scattering amplitude (b)<br />

with Z. Dependent on<br />

nuclear structure and<br />

only determined<br />

empirically by<br />

experiment.<br />

Scattering amplitude<br />

is different for different<br />

isotopes.<br />

Additional scattering by<br />

atoms with magnetic<br />

moments:<br />

(1) Diffuse scattering by<br />

paramagnetic materials<br />

(2) Coherent diffraction<br />

peaks from<br />

ferromagnetic and<br />

antiferromagnetic<br />

materials.<br />

Nuclear is Good for<br />

light Atomos<br />

Marking with<br />

isotopes is<br />

feasible<br />

Good for<br />

magnetic<br />

materials
