Abstract

A theory of the powder-pattern x-ray scattering line shape is developed for independent one-dimensional (1D) chains, appropriate, for example, for analysis of powder data from Hg3-δAsF6. The theory is found to be in excellent agreement with data for the first sheet of Hg3-δAsF6. The steplike leading edge and very slow falloff at higher q are clear characteristics that should allow unambiguous identification of 1D scattering from powder scans, when single crystals are not available.
