Atomic Structure and Vibrations in Zinc Crystals. V. The Diffuse Scattering of X-Rays at Various Scattering Angles

Former experimental results on the diffuse scattering of x-rays from single crystals of zinc at room temperature were not accurate enough to give certain evidence for the existence of asymmetry in the electron atmospheres of the zinc atoms. More exact and careful measurements of the diffuse scattering of x-rays at scattering angles ranging from $\phi ={15}^{\circ }$ to $\phi ={40}^{\circ }$ for the two orientation angles $\psi ={14}^{\circ }$ and $\psi ={90}^{\circ }$ are described. The results are discussed in paper VI.
