Abstract
This study was planned to search for evidence of internal phase shift in the atoms of heteronuclear diatomic solids. The motivation for the study was a desire to test a possible explanation of intensity anomalies that appeared pursuant to analysis of some electron diffraction patterns. The discovery of these anomalies was a result of analysis based on the simplifying assumption that the electron scatters without phase shift. The explanation to be tested assumes that there is a phase shift on scattering, and the work hereafter described is a comparison of these two assumptions about scattering. The comparison indicates the validity of the latter assumption.
