Polarization bremsstrahlung study of short-range order in solids

Possibility to elaborate a new method of the diagnostics of short range order in solids based on spectral measurements of polarization bremsstrahlung from relativistic electrons moving in a sample is shown. The main advantage of the method being proposed consists in the absence of distortions in desired function of atom radial density in distinction to that determined by the basic Zernicke-Prins approach based on angular measurements of scattered quasi-monochromatic X-rays.
