Relative Scattering Powers of the Elements

Neutrons scatter strongly from light elements,

since neutrons scatter mainly from the nuclei.

X-rays are best (synchrotrons) for solving structures

Easier to find the heavy atoms first

Neutrons are best for refining structures

All atoms are ‘equal’ for neutrons

Few systematic errors (average over big samples etc…)

Easier sample environment (low temperatures etc…)

Interest of very precise structure measurements

Precise bond lengths

Study charge ordering, metal-insulator transitions…

Magnetic structures: difficult with x-ray powders

Best combinations for structural analysis
