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.

The theory of moiré fringes on X-ray diffraction topographs of bicrystals is derived from the dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction for the reflection (Bragg) and the transmission (Laue) case. The influence on the moiré fringes of the diffraction geometry, of the geometry of the sample, of its optical properties and of the topographic method is investigated. The perfect-crystal theory is also expanded to weakly deformed bicrystals.


A detailed electron distribution study of the covalent bond in silicon is discussed. The study is based on the strategy employed earlier to define the covalent bond in diamond, and estimates of the bonded-atom scattering power, including results for 222, that have been obtained in three different X -ray experiments at room temperature are considered. Two of these involve the conventional approach via intensity measurement, that of Gottlicher & Wolfel (G. W. ) on powders and that of DeMarco & Weiss (D. M. W. ) on perfect single crystals, while the third by Hattori, Kuriyama, Katagaw a & Kato (H. K. K. K. ) involves the measurement of spacing in X -ray Pendellösung fringes observed in wedge-shaped perfect crystal specimens and their interpretation by the dynamical theory of Kato. It is shown that only the results obtained by H. K. K. K. are capable of detailed analysis in term s of the criteria now available from the earlier study of diamond, from which we conclude that the fringe-spacing method has yielded data for the low-angle reflexions which are superior to the data obtained m re conventionally by G. W. and D. M. W. The covalent bond in silicon is described comprehensively by two non-spherical components as in diamond. The major (antisymmetric) component involves the radial function F 3 ( r ) = 1⋅11 r 2 exp (─ 0⋅88 r 2 ), and the minor (cubo-centrosymmetric) the function G 4 ( r ) = ─ 0⋅32 1 r 2 exp (─0⋅88 r 2 ). The origin of these components lies in an electron redistribution of the spherical unbonded atom involving 0⋅127 electron per bond, and this leads to a peak of + 0⋅25 e/Å 3 at the mid-point of the covalent bond. The consequences of this study are considered in relation to future attempts to examine aspects of electron distribution in atoms of different weight. The suitability of diamond and silicon as standards for scaling intensity data to the strict absolute basis so essential to such studies is also noted.

The modulation in Pendellösung fringe visibility in perfect crystal is due to the interference between σ and π polarization states of X-ray wave. It is simulated by superposition of two polarization states by computer based on spherical X-ray wave dynamical theory and compared with fringe pattern on X-ray diffraction section topograph. It is found that the agreement between experimental result and theoretical calculation is satisfactory.


The variation of X-ray Bragg reflexion properties of centro-symmetric perfect crystals (both absorbing and non-absorbing) with thickness and degree of asymmetry of the reflexion is explored systematically by direct numerical evaluation of the dynamical theory. In particular, it is shown that well-defined universal limits exist where the integrated reflectivity of a perfect crystal (i. e. dynamical theory) approaches asymptotically that for an ideally imperfect crystal (i. e. kinematical approximation) of the same material under the same diffraction conditions. That is, in these limits the level of extinction goes to zero with zero gradient when plotted against an appropriate parameter. The first case occurs when the crystal thickness tends to zero, while the second case occurs when the degree of asymmetry tends toward the asymmetric limits. In each case it is shown that the level of interaction , as indicated for example by the maximum reflectivity, also goes to zero. If absorption is small it is found that the integrated reflectivity for a finite crystal can exceed that for the corresponding semi-infinite crystal, a particular example being the difference between the Ewald and Darwin results which occur for zero and negligible absorption respectively. If absorption and anomalous dispersion are both large, then for some range of parameter values the integrated reflectivity for a perfect crystal can exceed that for an ideally mosaic crystal leading to the phenomenon of negative extinction . A cautionary message arising from the present investigations relates to the dubious practical value of theoretical results for variation of diffraction properties with asymmetry, when these are based on the assumption of zero absorption.

Under the anomalous transmission condition in the Bragg mode, X-ray interference fringes were observed between two beams with different hyperbolic trajectories in a very weakly bent plane-parallel perfect crystal with negative strain gradient. The origin of the fringes was analysed based on the dynamical theory of diffraction for a distorted crystal. In the reflected beam from the entrance surface, the interference fringes were observed between once- and twice-reflected beams from the back surface. In the transmitted beam from the back surface, the interference fringes were observed between the direct beam and once-reflected beam from the entrance surface. In the emitted beam from the lateral surface, the interference fringes were observed between the beams after different numbers of reflections in the crystal. The multiply reflected beams were formed by a combined result of long propagation length along the beam direction with large divergence of the refracted beams when the strain gradient was negative. The period of these interference fringes was sensitive to very weak strain, of the order of 10−7.

The monolithic double-crystal spectrometer (MDCS) is a perfect-crystal device allowing X-ray spectroscopic measurements on an absolute energy scale with an accuracy of better than 1 in 106. This paper presents a detailed analysis of its properties using the dynamical theory of X-ray propagation in perfect crystals. The transmitted wavelength, the transmission window profile, the energy dispersion and the integrated intensity of the transmitted radiation and their dependence on the scanning angle of rotation are derived. The polarization mixing is shown to have a subtle yet important effect on the transmission of the MDCS. An example of a specific MDCS, designed for measuring the Cu Kβ emission spectra, is discussed in detail. The results of the study highlight the advantages and limitations of this device and yield tools for optimizing the MDCS for a wide class of X-ray spectroscopic measurements and for correcting the inevitable, although minimal, distortions introduced by the finite instrumental window of the device.

AbstractIn this work, the limit of application of the kinematical theory of X-ray diffraction was calculate integrated intensities was evaluated as a function of perfect crystal thickness, when compared with the Ewald–Laue dynamical theory. The percentual difference between the dynamical and kinematical integrated intensities was calculated as a function of unit cell volume, Bragg angle, wavelength, module, and phase of structure factor and linear absorption coefficient. A critical thickness was defined to be the value for which the intensities differ 5%. We show that this critical thickness is 13.7% of the extinction length, which a specific combination of the parameters mentioned before. Also, we find a general expression, for any percentage of the difference between both theories, to determine the validity of the application of the kinematical theory. Finally, we also showed that the linear absorption decreases this critical thickness.

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.
