Abstract
The properties of polycrystalline graphite are related to those of the ir component crystallites by structure-dependent factors. Neutron irra diation changes the properties of the crystals and indirectly the ''st ructure factors'' that relate the macroscopic to the microscopic prope rties. It is proposed and demonstrated that each of these structure fa ctors depends upon a single parameter X(T), defined as the difference in the crystal dimensional changes parallel and perpendicular to the h exagonal axis.
