Abstract:
An X-ray LLL interferometer with a wedge-shaped mirror plate is experimentally and theoretically investigated. Experimentally obtained interference patterns show that the Moiré fringes are superposed on Pendellösung fringes and the period of the Pendellösung fringes is not changed after passing the analyzer plate. An eikonal theory of interference-fringe formation in an LLL interferometer with a wedge-shaped mirror plate is developed, and provides predictions that coincide with experimentally obtained results.

Wedges
Consider using a wedge to lift a heavy slab. Here, the wedge functions by converting the applied force into a much larger force directed almost perpendicular to the initial force. This...

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...
