The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Kathleen Yardley Lonsdale, on a paper 'The effect of temperature on the intensity of x-ray reflection by gold' by E A Owen and R Wilson-Williams

Reference number: RR/69/240

Date: 1946

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in Proceedings. The results are interesting and important, but the paper itself is 'much too diffuse'. There are lots of unnecessary details and good deal of repetition. The paper should be shortened or details of the apparatus should be published elsewhere.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1947].
