Figure 1
Let a line t in reciprocal space be divided into discrete intervals Δt at a distance t from the origin. Then, let the frequency of reflections at (x, y, z) projected onto this line be given by the function f(t) in an interval of Δt. The one-dimensional Fourier transform of this line will be given by F(k) = , where m is an integer. In the figure, the largest Fourier coefficient other than F(0) corresponds to k = 27 and measures the distance between reciprocal-lattice planes perpendicular to the line of projection.
