On the X-Ray Diffuse Scattering by Molecular Crystals

Abstract

A general theory for the intensities of X-rays scattered by molecular crystals was under harmonic approximation given by taking account of the molecular translational and librational lattice vibrations as well as their mutual coupling. The molecules were taken as rigid bodies. The relationship of this theory to the other ones hitherto given for the diffuse scattering by molecular crystals was discussed.
