Abstract
In Chap. 2 the theory of the self- and the pair-correlation function for particles diffusing on a lattice was given. This chapter will give the connection to the scientific problem at hand, studying atomic diffusion in crystalline matter.

Notes
- 1.
Quasi-elastic methods are therefore ideally suited for the measurement of phonons.
- 2.
Note, however, that at the ESRF both the incoming radiation is polarized in the horizontal plane and scattering is mostly done in horizontal geometry. For small-angle scattering the effect is negligible, but with a scattering angle of \(45^\circ\) the scattered radiation is reduced by a factor of two.
