Tabulations are presented of the atomic form factor, F(x,Z), and the incoherent scattering function, S(x,Z), for values of x (=sin (IJ/2)/X,) from 0.005 A-I to 10 9 A-1, for all elements Z=l to 100. These tables are constructed from available state-of-the-art theoretical data, including the Pirenne formulas for Z = 1, configuration-interaction results by Brown using Brown-Fontana and Weiss correlated wavefunctions for Z=2 to 6, non-relativistic Hartree-Fock results by Cromer for Z=7 to 100, and a relativistic K-shell analytic expression for F(x,Z) by Bethe and Levinger for x> 10 A-I for all elements Z =2 to 100. These tabulated values are graphically compared with available photon scattering angular distribution measurements. Tables of coherent (Rayleigh) and incoherent (Compton) total scattering cross sections, obtained by numerical integration over combinations of F2(X.z) with the Thomson formula and S (x,Z) with the Klein-Nishina formula, respectively, are presented for all elements Z= I to 100, for photon energies 100 eV (1..=124 A)lto 100 MeV (0.000124 A). The incoherent scattering cross sections also include the radiative and double-Compton corrections as given by Mork. Similar tables are presented for the special cases of terminally-bonded hydrogen and for the H2 molecule, interpolated and extrapolated from values calculated by Stewart et al. and by Bentley and Stewart using Kolos-Roothaan wavefunctions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
