Normal and Abnormal Absorption Coefficients of X-Rays

Abstract

The normal and the abnormal absorption coefficients of X-rays due to the Compton scattering and the thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) are calculated numerically by taking into account the temperature effect. It is found that effects of both scatterings are comparable for light atoms such as Al and Si, and that the effect of the latter is larger than the former for heavier atoms.
