Compton and Rayleigh Scattering of X-rays by Heterogeneous Materials

Nature Physical Science volume 233, pages 8–9 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

DURING studies of Compton and Rayleigh scattering from suspensions and slurries, we observed that the X-ray intensities showed a markedly different dependence on the size of the grains of the more strongly absorbing component of the material. We investigated these effects in greater detail because they have potential industrial value in the determination of particle size in slurries and suspensions*.
