Figure 1
Sketch of the geometry of diffraction from a thin crystal in (a) Bragg geometry and (b) Laue geometry. The crystal of thickness τ, with the Bragg vector and the surface normal , is represented in grey with the white stripes parallel to the Bragg diffraction planes. The wavevector of the incident and transmitted beam is , while that for the diffracted beam is . The incident angle θ, the asymmetry angle δ and the angle differences and are indicated. P is a reference point on the crystal entrance surface. (c) Illustration of the coordinate system (x,z) for the incoming and transmitted beam, and for the diffracted beam. is the incidence angle for the z direction. |
