Abstract
Neutron interference effects, already observed by Stiller and Grimm et al., are further examined in KH2PO4 (KDP) and NH4H2PO4 (ADP) in the paraelectric phase. The measurements are performed with a triple axis spectrometer at a neutron energy of 84 meV. A maximum value of 12 A-1 is achieved for the scattering vector k. For KDP, in the adopted geometry, k rotates in the plane defined by the vectors b + a and c of the single crystal. A preliminary experimental evidence for a similar interference effect observed also in the ADP crystal, is reported.
