A new method is presented for a calculation of the reciprocal-space distribution of X-ray diffracted intensity along a crystal truncation rod. In contrast to usual kinematical or dynamical approaches, the method is correct both in the reciprocal-lattice points and between them. In the method, the crystal is divided into a sequence of very thin slabs parallel to the surface; in contrast to the well known Darwin dynamical theory, the electron density in the slabs is constant along the surface normal. The diffracted intensity is calculated by a matrix formalism based on the Fresnel reflection and transmission coefficients. The method is applicable for any polarization of the primary beam and also in a non-coplanar scattering geometry.

The phase shift of forward-diffracted X-rays by a perfect crystal is discussed on the basis of the dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction. By means of a triple Laue-case X-ray interferometer, the phase shift of forward-diffracted X-rays by a silicon crystal in the Bragg geometry was investigated.

An algorithm is developed based on the dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction for calculating the profiles of the diffracted beam,i.e.the diagrams of the intensity distributionversus2θ when a crystal is fixed at an angle of its maximum diffracted intensity. Similar to Fraunhofer (far-field) diffraction for a single-slit case, in the proposed algorithm the diffracted beam from one atomic layer excited by X-rays is described by the composition of (N+ 1) coherent point oscillators in the crystal. The amplitude and the initial phase of the electric field for each oscillator can be calculated based on the dynamical theory with given boundary conditions. This algorithm not only gives diffraction profiles but also provides the contribution of the excitation of modes when extremely asymmetric diffraction is involved in the diffraction process. Examples such as extremely asymmetric two-beam surface diffraction and three-beam surface diffraction are presented and discussed in detail.
