X-ray diffraction from disordered cylindrical lattices

Expressions for the diffracted intensities from an aggregate of cylindrically curved crystallites with disordered lattices have been worked out. The treatment is very much similar to that of Mitra & Bhattacherjee [Acta Cryst. (1971), A27, 22-28]. The lattice disorders considered consist of layer shift and variability of interlayer spacings. Results of numerical computations have been discussed and compared with those of cylindrical crystallites without faults.
