  11. X-rays and phonons? “ When a crystal is irradiated with X-rays, the processes of photoelectric absorption and fluorescence are no doubt accompanied by absorption and emission of phonons. The energy changes involved are however so small compared with photon energies that information about the phonon spectrum of the crystal cannot be obtained in this way.” W. Cochran in Dynamics of atoms in crystals, (1973) “…In general the resolution of such minute photon frequency is so difficult that one can only measure the total scattered radiation of all frequencies, … As a result of these considerations x-ray scattering is a far less powerful probe of the phonon spectrum than neutron scattering. ” Ashcroft and Mermin in Solid State Physics, (1975) b – tin, J. Bouman et al., Physica 12, 353 (1946)

  12. Nobel Prize in Physics 1994: B. N. Brockhouse and C. G. Shull Press release by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences: “Neutrons are small magnets…… (that) can be used to study the relative orientations of the small atomic magnets. ….. the X-ray method has been powerless and in this field of application neutron diffraction has since assumed an entirely dominant position. It is hard to imagine modern research into magnetism without this aid.” X-rays and magnons?

Comparison IXS - INS IXS • no correlation between momentum- and energy transfer • DE/E = 10-7 to 10-8 • Cross section ~ Z2 (for small Q) • Cross section is dominated by photoelectric absorption (~ l3Z4) • no incoherent scattering • small beams: 100 mm or smaller INS • strong correlation between momentum- and energy transfer • DE/E = 10-1 to 10-2 • Cross section ~ b2 • Weak absorption => multiple scattering • incoherent scattering contributions • large beams: several cm
