  1. Neutron Conversion Factors • E (meV) = 81.80 λ-2 (Å-2) • E (meV) = 2.072 k2 (Å-2) • E (meV) = 5.227 × 106τ-2(m2/μsec2) • T (K) = 11.604 E (meV) where τis the time of flight, or inverse velocity (τ= 1/v).

  2. Ei, ki φ Ef, kf Inelastic Scattering Processes Conservation of energy Conservation of “momentum”

  3. Reciprocal Space Construction The scattering triangle

  4. kf Q ki Ewald Spheres ki= 2π / λi kf= 2π / λf Q = ki- kf

  5. ψ ki -kf Q Kinematic Range From the scattering triangle, we can see that from which it follows that and so putting Ef =Ei - ε we get This equation gives us the locus of (Q, ε) for a given scattering angle ψ. (N.B. we can write ℏ2/2m=2.072 for E(meV) and Q in Å-1).

  6. ψ ki -kf Q Locus of Neutrons in (Q,ε) Space ε= Ei ψ = 118° Q→2ki ψ = 2.5°

  7. Scattering in ZrH2

  8. ki ψ Q⎜⎜ Q⊥ -kf Q Kinematics in a single crystal Can also be expressed in terms of the components of Q parallel and perpendicular to the incident wavevector ki: Hence it follows that and Q⊥ = kf sin (ψ) Q ⎜⎜ =ki – kf cos (ψ) This results in the surface of a paraboloid, with the apex in (Q//, Q⊥,ε)-space at the point (ki, 0, Ei).

  9. Kinematics in a Single Crystal (contd) In a single crystal experiment,we need to superimpose the scattering triangle on the reciprocal lattice. Locus of constant w is a Q-circle of radius kf centered on Q = ki ki [0,k,0] Q -kf [h,0,0]
