Abstract

Neutron diffraction data on four different isotopic samples of methylene chloride, containing 1 H and 2 H, are reported. Background, self-absorption of the sample and container and multiple scattering corrections were performed in the usual way, whereas a procedure for the inelasticity correction is presented, which is especially tested for liquids containing hydrogen. Separation of the coherent scattering contributions into intramolecular and intermolecular parts was performed to compare with a molecular dynamics simulation for the liquid structure.
