Neutron Diffraction on Piezoelectric Vibrating Resonators

Nature volume 218, page 80 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

THIS communication explains some experimental results published by Parkinson and Moyer1,2* by proving that the wave amplitude associated with neutrons reflected from a lattice of vibrating piezoelectric resonators corresponds to the amplitude of a frequency modulated wave3,4.
