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 [{\bf H}] and the surface normal [{\bf n}], is represented in grey with the white stripes parallel to the Bragg diffraction planes. The wavevector of the incident and transmitted beam is [{\bf k}_{0}], while that for the diffracted beam is [{\bf k}_{H}]. The incident angle θ, the asymmetry angle δ and the angle differences [\beta _{0}] and [\beta _{H}] 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 [(x^{{\prime}}, z^{{\prime}})] for the diffracted beam. [\theta _{\rm ref}] is the incidence angle for the z direction.
