Abstract
The differential scattering cross section for neutron scattering from liquid heavy water (D 2 O) has been measured at incident neutron wavelengths of 0·694 and 0·347 Å. The oscillatory pattern observed at high momentum-transfer values characterizes the structure of an individual molecule. The data are found to be in good agreement after application of a correction for molecular recoil and give a value of 0·98 ± 0·01 Å for the oxygen-deuterium bond length.
