is: the diffraction of neutrons by a regular array of atoms (as in a crystal). [P7.1]
is a consequence: of the wave-like behaviour of neutrons, as described by quantum physics. [P7.1]
results in: a diffraction pattern with sharp local maxima of intensity in directions determined (in sufficiently simple cases) by Bragg's law. [P7.1]
