Effect of Temperature on Atomic Scattering Curve

Abstract

We have calculated the temperature dependence of the atomic scattering curve for the elements Si, C, Pt and Cu. At first we have drawn the general atomic scattering curve for the above elements. A quantity ‘f’, the atomic scattering factor, is said to describe the ‘efficiency’ of scattering of a given atom in a given direction. The actual calculation of ‘f’ involves sin θ, rather than θ, so that the net effect is that ‘f’ decreases as the quantity (sin θ)/λ increases. Secondly, we have considered Debye temperature factor using Debye model. And we observe that for Debye approximation, the curve decreases a little bit.
