イオン結晶,共有結晶及び金属結晶からの中性子散漫散乱に関して、原子の熱変位の相関効果を解析した。室温での最近接に位置する元素間での相関効果の値は結合状態によらず約0.7であり、この値は原子間距離の増加あるいは温度の低下に従って減少することが明らかになった。

Diffuse neutron scattering intensities from ionic crystals, covalent crystals and metal crystals are analyzed by including the correlation effects among thermal displacements of atoms into the function describing background intensity. The obtained values of correlation effects among first nearest neighboring atoms are 0.7 near room temperature. The values of the correlation effects do not depend much on the type of the crystal binding near room temperature. The values of correlation effects decrease rapidly with the increase of inter-atomic distances. The correlation effects also decrease with the decrease of temperature.
