Dynamical Theory of X-Ray Diffraction

Presents a comprehensive account of the dynamical diffraction of X-rays since the development of synchrotron radiation. This book provides an introduction to the subject, followed by a detailed treatment of perfect and slightly and highly deformed crystals. It is useful as a reference work for graduate students, lecturers, and researchers.
The dynamical theory of diffraction has witnessed exciting developments since the advent of synchrotron radiation. This book is an up-to-date account of the theory of diffraction and its applications. The first part serves as an introduction to the subject, presenting the early developments and the basic resultpresenting the early ds. It is followed by a detailed development of the diffraction and propagation properties of x-rays in perfect crystals and by an extension of the theory to the case of slightly and highly deformed crystals. The last part gives three applications of the theory: X-ray optics for synchrotron radiation, locations of atoms at surfaces, and X-ray diffraction topography.
