Abstract

When we discussed the variation of observable symmetry according to the nature of the examining probe, Sect. 1.4, we stated that one possible probe is a neutron beam. As an example, when the structure of elemental chromium is examined by X-ray diffraction, it shows a body-centered cubic arrangement, Fig. 11.1a. Elemental chromium has the electronic configuration (Ar 3d5 4s1); it is antiferromagnetic at room temperature, and its electron spins, arising from the unpaired electrons, give rise to the magnetic structure shown in Fig. 11.1b. The magnetic moment of the neutron interacts with the permanent dipole of chromium to form this structure, and consequently the diffraction record shows a primitive cubic structure.
