Abstract
Atomic collision cascades within crystals can be produced by recoils i nduced by gamma-emission after thermal neutron capture, Subsequently e mitted secondary gamma-quanta are Doppler shifted due to the motion of the recoiling atom. We report on the first observation of structure l ineshape observed by Gamma-Ray Induced Doppler broadening (GRID) exper iments using oriented single crystals. These allow a detailed study of the dynamics of atomic collision cascades and of interatomic potentia ls in the bulk of materials.
