rdf:type qudt:QuantityKind
dcterms:description "Debye-Waller Factor" (DWF), named after Peter Debye and Ivar Waller, is used in condensed matter physics to describe the attenuation of x-ray scattering or coherent neutron scattering caused by thermal motion. Also, a factor by which the intensity of a diffraction line is reduced because of the lattice vibrations.
