Abstract
THE theory of diffuse scattering of X-rays by single crystals subjected to thermal vibrations indicates that for temperatures near or above the Debye temperature, but not too high, the diffuse scattering power? B should be proportional to Te-T/T0 where, for a cubic lattice, (T, absolute temperature; m, atomic mass in gm. ; a, lattice constant in cm. ;?, Debye temperature ; k, h, Boltzmann and Planck constants; h1, h2, h3, the Miller indices of the nearest Bragg reflexion).
