The method of the Rayleigh scattering of Mössbauer radiation (RSMR) for the study of dynamics of atoms in polystyrene demonstrating advantages of the application of the semiconductor Si-PIN detector (Amptek Inc.) was used for recording scattered radiation. It has been shown that for recording the RSMR spectra the semiconductor detector can be much more suitable than other types of detection because of the increased quality of spectra under the same collimating conditions. The dependence of probability of the Rayleigh elastic scattering fR on the scattering angle was obtained. By means of the RSMR method the scattering was studied within the angle range at the main Bragg maximum of a polystyrene sample which corresponds to the distance d = 4.44 Å\AA approximately equal to the distance between the polymer chains.

Mesbauerio spinduliuotės Relėjaus sklaidos metodas pritaikytas atomų dinamikos polistirene tyrimui, išsklaidytos spinduliuotės registracijai, pasirenkant puslaidininkinį Si-PIN detektorių. Puslaidininkinis detektorius, palyginus su dažniausiai naudojamu proporcingu detektoriumi, pasižymi daug geresne energine skiriamąja geba ir juo galima gauti geresnės kokybės Mesbauerio spinduliuotės Relėjaus sklaidos spektrus esant toms pačioms kolimavimo sąlygoms. Gauta Relėjaus elastinės sklaidos polistirene tikimybės fR priklausomybė nuo sklaidos kampo. Mesbauerio spinduliuotės Relėjaus sklaidos metodas taikytas esant sklaidos kampams intensyvumo maksimume, kuris atitinka vidutinį tarpplokštuminį atstumą d = 4,44 Å\AA\AA ir gali būti siejamas su atstumu tarp polimero grandinių polistirene.
