Recent work has drawn attention to the possibilities that small angle electron scattering offers as a source of information about the micro-structure of vacuum condensed films. In particular, this serves as a good detector of discontinuities within the films. A review of a kinematical theory describing the small angle scattering from a thin film composed of discrete particles packed close together will be presented. Such a model could be represented by a set of cylinders packed side by side in a two dimensional fluid-like array, the axis of the cylinders being normal to the film and the length of the cylinders becoming the thickness of the film. The Fourier transform of such an array can be regarded as a ring structure around the central beam in the plane of the film with the usual thickness transform in a direction normal to the film. The intensity profile across the ring structure is related to the radial distribution function of the spacing between cylinders.

Small angle electron scattering (SAES) has been used to study structural features of up to several thousand angstroms in polymers, as well as in metals. SAES may be done either in (a) long camera mode by switching off the objective lens current or in (b) selected area diffraction mode. In the first case very high camera lengths (up to 7Ø meters on JEOL 1Ø ØCX) and high angular resolution can be obtained, while in the second case smaller camera lengths (approximately up to 3.6 meters on JEOL 1Ø ØCX) and lower angular resolution is obtainable. We conducted our SAES studies on JEOL 1ØØCX which can be switched to either mode with a push button as a standard feature.


Longitudinal magnetoresistance has been measured in a number of single crystals of silver and one very pure single crystal of copper in fields up to 65 kG and at temperatures between 4.2 and 35 °K. The purpose of the work has been to investigate the effects of different types of electron scattering, in particular small angle scattering. It has been found that at 4.2 °K impure crystals obey the relaxation time approximation fairly well, whereas crystals that have been purified (by oxidation at 800 °C) do not. Above 4.2 °K, the addition of long wavelength phonons has caused the magnetoresistance to increase substantially, as predicted by Pippard (1964), but agreement with Pippard’s theory is only qualitative. To account for the results a more detailed treatment of the scattering is required.

A considerable amount of work, both theoretical and experimental, in the domain of electron scattering in gases has been carried out in recent years, and a comprehensive and most useful treatise has recently been written by Mott and Massey on this subject. Theory and experiment are in general relative agreement, it appears, at scattering angles greater than 10° and over wide ranges of electron energy, but so far attention has not been directed to the phenomena at angles much less than 10°—nor has an absolute determination of the probability of any type of collision been made experimentally. The present work is an attempt to obtain results in these directions.
