Application of the matrix method to the calculation of diffuse scattering in linearly disordered crystals
Abstract
The matrix method for the calculation of diffuse scattering has been applied to linearly disordered crystals. Although it is shown that the matrix method and the difference formula are equivalent for equal length cells, the algebraic and computational advantages of the matrix method are stressed and are illustrated by the example of short-range order in hollandite, K1.54Mg0.77Ti7.23O 16.
