Figure 1
RCI is a quantitative version of monochromatic beam diffraction topography. The crystal is rotated along the diffraction curve for a given set of lattice planes, and the Bragg diffracted beam is recorded on a two-dimensional pixel detector. Each pixel records its own `local' rocking curve, so maps of the whole diffracting area of the sample can be reconstructed. Maps of integrated intensity and FWHM give information about the level of local distortion in each zone of the crystal, and maps of the angular peak position give access to the local departure from the nominal Bragg angle. RCI section topography is based on the same concept except that the incident beam width is reduced by a narrow slit, and thus the diffracted beam corresponds to a virtual slice through the thickness of the sample. |
