Figure 2
A schematic view of the Ewald sphere with wavevectors of incoming beams k and outgoing beams k′, reciprocal lattice vector G, and reciprocal lattice unit vector a*. a* is rotated by an azimuthal angle ϕ and a longitudinal angle ψ from the vertical line, and is perpendicular to k when ψ = 0. In the figure, LD and TD are transverse directions of the neutron beam, and ND is the normal direction (or the direction of the neutron beam). |
