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.

Spectral interference occurs when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, falsely elevating or masking the analyte's absorbance. This interference can be corrected using Zeeman,...
