Dynamical Diffraction Lecture Series

By B.W. Batterman

LECTURES ON DYNAMICAL DIFFRACTION OF X-RAYS

11:00 AM in Bldg 2 Room 400F on Thursdays:
Thursdays, November 30; January 4, 11, 25; February 1,
8, 15; March 8, 15, 22

The purpose of this series of lectures is to get across to the participants a feeling for the physical attributes of Dynamical X-ray Diffraction. I will assume that the audience knows about Bragg's Law, crystallographic notation (Miller indices etc.) and has a rough idea of reciprocal space. These areas will, however, have a cursory visit, but the main thrust will be to understand diffraction when the interaction between the incident and diffracted beams is taken into account. We will straightforwardly show the meaning and use of a dispersion surface, Darwin reflection and monochromator applications, anomalous x-ray transmission (Bormann Effect) and standing wave analysis to locate atoms.
