Fit. 3.12: Schematic illustration of the magnetic field distribution due to spin - (S) and<br />

orbital- (L) angular momentum in the case ofa Bohr orbit The magnetic field due<br />

to the spin moment is much more spread out than the one due to the orbital angular<br />

momentum.<br />

Fig. 3.12 : Formfactor ofCr [7, 81 . Due to the different distribution of the magneticfeldfor<br />

S and L according tofigure 3 .11, a more rapid decrease ofthe scattering amplitude<br />

as a function of momentum transfer resultsfor the spin momentum. For the x-ray<br />

form factor, the innen electrons play an important yole, too. Therefore, the x-ray<br />

formfactor drops sloiver as compared to the magnetic formfactor. Finally, on the<br />

 length scale of the thermal neutron ivave length, the nucleus is point-like.<br />

Therefore, nuclear scattering is independent ofthe momentum transfer.<br />
