(a) Three coplanar reflections for a cubic crystal: , and 005, coloured red, green, and blue, respectively. The Q vectors are represented by dashed arrows, and their lengths are equal to d−1/2, or simply d−1 because the denominator cancels out. The triple intersection is highlighted by a small magenta circle (ti). The radius of the large circle is equal to k0, which is equal to λ−1. The red, green and blue solid lines show the cone projections along Q1 × Qi. (b) A three-dimensional representation of (a) to show that the intersection occurs out of the plane common to Q1, Q2 and Q3. |
