Inelastic neutron scattering measures atomic motions The concept of a pair correlation function can be generalized: G(r,t) = probability of finding a nucleus at (r,t) given that there is one at r=0 at t=0 G s (r,t) = probability of finding a nucleus at (r,t) if the same nucleus was at r=0 at t=0 Then one finds: 2 ⎛ d σ ⎞ ⎜ d dE ⎟ ⎝ Ω. ⎠ 2 ⎛ d σ ⎞ ⎜ d dE ⎟ ⎝ Ω. ⎠ coh inc = b = b where r 1 S( Q, ω) = 2πh 2 coh 2 inc ∫∫ k' r NS( Q, ω) k k' r NSi ( Q, ω) k r G( r, t) e r r i( Q. r −ωt) r drdt and (h/2π)Q & (h/2π)ω are the momentum & energy transferred to the neutron during the scattering process r 1 Si ( Q, ω) = 2πh ∫∫ G s r ( r, t) e r r i( Q. r −ωt ) r drdt Inelastic coherent scattering measures correlated motions of atoms Inelastic incoherent scattering measures self-correlations e.g. diffusion
Magnetic Scattering • The magnetic moment of the neutron interacts with B fields caused, for example, by unpaired electron spins in a material – Both spin and orbital angular momentum of electrons contribute to B – Expressions for cross sections are more complex than for nuclear scattering • Magnetic interactions are long range and non-central – Nuclear and magnetic scattering have similar magnitudes – Magnetic scattering involves a form factor – FT of electron spatial distribution • Electrons are distributed in space over distances comparable to neutron wavelength • Elastic magnetic scattering of neutrons can be used to probe electron distributions – Magnetic scattering depends only on component of B perpendicular to Q – For neutrons spin polarized along a direction z (defined by applied H field): • Correlations involving B z do not cause neutron spin flip • Correlations involving B x or B y cause neutron spin flip – Coherent & incoherent nuclear scattering affects spin polarized neutrons • Coherent nuclear scattering is non-spin-flip • Nuclear spin-incoherent nuclear scattering is 2/3 spin-flip • Isotopic incoherent scattering is non-spin-flip
