Abstract:
We have investigated the dependence on average atomic number of coherent/incoherent scattering intensity ratios in molecules. A Am-241 source is used to provide γ-rays. Several compounds having different average atomic numbers were used as scatterers. Scattering γ-rays were counted by a Si(Li) detector (FWHM at ). We observed an increase in the coherent/incoherent scattering intensity ratios with increasing average atomic number.
