In crystalline materials, Umklapp scattering (also U-process or Umklapp process) is a scattering process that results in a wave vector (usually written

Coulomb scattering is the elastic scattering of charged particles by the Coulomb interaction. The physical phenomenon was used by Ernest Rutherford in

connection between light scattering and acoustic scattering in the 1870s. Near the end of the 19th century, the scattering of cathode rays (electron

The scattering length in quantum mechanics describes low-energy scattering. For potentials that decay faster than 1 / r 3 {\displaystyle 1/r^{3}} as r

In physics, Mott scattering is elastic electron scattering from nuclei. It is a form of Coulomb scattering that requires treatment of spin-coupling. It

theory is that the scattering amplitude for potential scattering grows as a function of the cosine z {\displaystyle z} of the scattering angle as a power

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is an experimental technique that uses elastic neutron scattering at small scattering angles to investigate the

Compton scattering (or the Compton effect) is the quantum theory of scattering of a high-frequency photon through an interaction with a charged particle
