Abstract
Experiments using X-ray diffraction by crystals show that the intensity of Bragg spots depends on temperature. Figure P1.1 shows the decrease in intensity of some of these peaks with temperature for aluminium, which has a face-centered cubic structure. This decrease is due to thermal vibrations of the atoms around their equilibrium positions.
