Inelastic scattering

The form factors for all atoms dropto zero as Q →∞, however, otherprocesses continiue to scatter pho-tons.

In particular, Compton scatteringbecomes dominant.

Compton scattering is an inelasticprocess: |~k| 6= |~k ′| and it is alsoincoherent.

The Compton scattering containsinformation about the momentumdistribution of the electrons in thegroundstate of the atom.

S(Q) - The Liquid Structure Factor

A bit of rearrangment results in the expression for the liquid structurefactor, S(Q).

S(Q) =I SRO(~Q)

Nf (Q)2= 1 +

Q

∫ ∞0

r [ρ(~r)− ρat ] sin(Qr)dr

When Q → ∞, the short wave-length limit, 1/Q → 0 eliminatesall dependence on the interparticlecorrelations and S(Q)→ 1.

When Q → 0, i.e. the long wave-length limit, sin(Qr)/Q → r andS(Q) is dominated by the densityfluctuations in the system

We can rewrite the structure factor equation

Q [S(Q)− 1] =

∫ ∞0

4πr [ρ(~r)− ρat ] sin(Qr)dr =

∫ ∞0H(r) sin(Qr)dr

Which is the sine Fourier Transform of the deviation of the atomic densityfrom its average, H(r) = 4πr [g(r)− 1]

Radial Distribution Function

We can invert the Fourier Transform to obtain

H(r) =2

π

∫ ∞0

Q [S(Q)− 1] sin(Qr)dQ

and thus the radial distribution fuction can be obtained from the structurefactor (an experimentally measureable quantity).

g(r) = 1 +1

2π2rρat

∫ ∞0

Q [S(Q)− 1] sin(Qr)dQ

This formalism holds for both non-crystalline solids and liquids, eventhough inelastic scattering dominates in the latter.

The relation between radial distribution function and structure factor canbe extended to multi-component systems where g(r) → gij(r) andS(Q) → Sij(Q).
