Figure 2
Friedel pair geometry for a s3DXRD acquisition in a reference frame fixed relative to the sample. (a) Sketch of the setup, with two detector positions at angles ω and ω + 180°, and an arbitrary translation ty of the sample relative to the rotation center. A single hkl reflection arising from the green spot in the sample at rotation angle ω is shown, together with its paired reflection hkl occurring at ω + 180°. The two incident beams [{\bf i}_{1}] and [{\bf i}_{2}] are thin pencil beams of negligible dimension in y and z, and are coincident. The two diffracted beams [{\bf u}_{1}] and [{\bf u}_{2}] are also coincident and intersect the detector at [{\bf P}_{1}] and [{\bf P}_{2}], respectively. (b) View of the plane containing [{\bf i}_{1}], [{\bf i}_{2}], [{\bf u}_{1}] and [{\bf u}_{2}]. [2\theta] is the real scattering angle between [{\bf i}_{1}] and [{\bf u}_{1}] (or [{\bf i}_{2}] and [{\bf u}_{2}]), and η is the azimuth angle on the detector. [2\theta_{1}] and [2\theta_{2}] are apparent scattering angles, computed assuming that the diffracting point in the sample has no offset along the x axis, i.e. it is at distance L from the detector. h0 is the radial distance from the detector center to the spot, which would be observed both for [{\bf P}_{1}] and [{\bf P}_{2}] if there was no offset along the x axis. [\delta_{h}] is the offset from this position resulting from the offset [x_{\rm l}] of the diffracting source along the x axis.
