Abstract
The structure factor S(Q) has been measured for liquid nitrogen at 77 K by neutron diffraction at four wavelengths. The effects of Placzek corrections on the self [1, 2] and interference [3] components of the observed differential scattering cross-sections at 0·35, 0·7, 0·84 and 1·06 Å [4] have been investigated. Effective molecular masses and internuclear bond lengths have been obtained by fitting a modified Placzek model to the observed data. It is concluded that after correction the different structure factors agree satisfactorily within the statistical errors of the measurements and the internuclear bond length is close to that measured in the gas phase.Keywords
