Atomic form factor of hydrogenFor the hydrogen atom in its ground state, the electron density is n(r) = (πao³)-1exp(-2r/ao), where ao is the Bohr radius. Integrating this expression over all space yields 1 indicating that there is one electron. The atomic form factor is the three-dimensional Fourier transform of the electron density. Show that the atomic form factor is fG = 16/(4 + G²ao²)². |
