✦ Synopsis
Neutron-scattering measurements on a hydrogen-bonded compound, KHCO 3 , with a bond length of about 2.6 A ˚were performed, and the intensity maps of the scattering function (S(Q,1)) observed over a very wide energy-momentum region of 0 Ͻ 1 Ͻ 500 meV and 0 Ͻ ͉Q͉ Ͻ 20 A ˚Ϫ1 . From these intensity maps, we succeeded in obtaining the real-space distribution of the hydrogen wave function at the excited states for the first time. Their distribution maps were compared with the calculated ones, using a theoretically proposed potential model. It provided strong support for the proposed potential itself, and also provided a direct evidence of a Fermi resonance which was predicted to be a major feature of all O-H-O bonds of about 2.6 A length.
