Experimental measurements of the intensity of neutron reflexion by large single-crystal slices are shown to be in agreement with previously published calculations. It is demonstrated that accurate comparison can be made of the structure factors of planes in a zone by the use of cylindrical or pillar crystals, sufficiently small in diameter to give negligible secondary extinction effects. The use of single crystals for structure analysis is discussed.
