Phase-sensitive x-ray diffraction in the expanded distorted-wave approximation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on an expanded distorted-wave approximation, analytical intensity expressions are derived for phasesensitive reference-beam x-ray diffraction in both the transmission and the reflection cases. Results from this approach are compared with the rigorous n-beam dynamical theory calculations and are shown to be very accurate if the crystal is in the thin kinematic limit. The method represents a unified theoretical approach for both the incoherent standing-wave effect and the phase-sensitive three-beam diffraction of the internal wave fields. The simple formulas for thin crystals are particularly useful for phase determination in biological crystals as well as in semiconductor thin-film structures.

Expanded Distorted-Wave Theory for Phase-Sensitive X-Ray Diffraction in Single Crystals
Diffraction of x rays is a widely used technique for studying structural information in condensed matter. One of the main advantages of this structural technique is that the diffracted intensities measured in experiments can be easily interpreted by a simple kinematic theory [1–3] that is based on the first-order Born approximation where single scattering events are the predominant mechanism. T...
متن کاملDistorted-wave approach to reference-beam x-ray diffraction in transmission cases
The conventional distorted-wave theory for x-ray scattering from surfaces is expanded to account for phasesensitive reference-beam diffraction in bulk crystals. The expanded theory, presented here for the transmission geometry that is suitable for biological specimens, provides a simple intensity formula with an explicit dependence on the phases of the structure factors. Numerical results show ...

A new method of obtaining Bragg reflection phases in an x-ray diffraction experiment is presented. It combines the phase-sensitive principles of multiple-beam diffraction and x-ray standing waves, and allows direct phase measurements of many multiple reflections simultaneously using a Bragg-inclined oscillating-crystal geometry. A modified-two-beam intensity function is devised to extract the p...

The crystal structure of the title Schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.The solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(II) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. The crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.
