Effect of B-Factor on X-Ray Scattering

​
B-factor
0
The scattering of x-rays by atoms decreases with scattering angle partly because of atomic positional disorder. This Demonstration shows the temperature factor as a function of scattering angle. This reduction in scattering power can be described by the expression
-B
2
(sinθ/λ)
e
, where
B
, the displacement parameter or
B
-factor, reflects the mean displacement of the atoms. This Demonstration shows how the scattering strength falls off with increasing
B
