On the calculation of electron diffraction intensities

Abstract

It is pointed out that the 'discrepancy' between the electron diffraction intensities calculated by Sturkey (1962) and by Fukuhara (1966) is not due to any inherent inaccuracy of Sturkey's method of calculation, and that the correct explanation of the discrepancy is that Sturkey's calculations refer to positron diffraction while those of Fukuhara refer to electron diffraction. A corrected form of Sturkey's development of the theory is given.
