Abstract: | Incoherent scattering functions S(x, Z) for six rare earth elements were evaluated from accurately measured whole atom differential incoherent scattering cross sections for 59.54 keV γ-rays scattered at 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° scattering angles corresponding to 1.24, 1.84, 2.40 and 3.39 Å?1 photon momentum transfers. Our results for S(x, Z) are the first for these rare earth elements. |
