Coherent scattering

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002181",
  "term": "Coherent scattering",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of scattering where the scattered waves from different scattering centers maintain a fixed phase relationship with each other. This results in interference patterns that provide information about the spatial arrangement of the scattering centers. X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction are examples of techniques that rely on coherent scattering.",
