Phase of Pendellösung oscillations in X-ray dynamical diffraction for perfect crystals
1Daido University, 10-3 Takiharu-cho, Minami-ku, Nagoya 457-8530, Japan.
Abstract:
Formulations are given for the intensities of transmitted and diffracted waves in the Laue case of a perfect crystal. This is applicable irrespective of the magnitudes of both the real and imaginary parts of the Fourier components of the crystal polarizability. The phase shift of the Pendellösung oscillations of the transmitted and diffracted waves is analyzed in detail for a symmetrical Laue case. The phase is determined to shift continuously from out of phase to in phase for absorbing crystals.

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...
X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...
Torsional Pendulum
As long as the rigid body's angular displacement is small, its oscillation can be modeled as a linear angular oscillation. The amplitude of the oscillation is an angle. The role of mass is played...

Simple Pendulum
The period of a simple pendulum depends on two factors: its length and the acceleration due to gravity. The period is completely independent of any other factors, such as mass or maximum displacement. For small displacements, a pendulum is...
