Abstract:
In this Letter we report the observation of K lines (representing collectively, Kossel and Kikuchi lines) produced by monochromatic thermal neutrons interacting with a KDP (potassium dihydrogen phosphate) single crystal. Since K lines contain phase information, these observations establish the experimental basis for direct crystallographic phasing of atomic structures containing incoherent scatterers, such as hydrogen, via thermal neutron "inside source" holography.
