Bragg Diffraction of X-Rays by Single Crystals with Large Microdefects I. Generalized Dynamical Theory

Abstract

Basic equations of the dynamical scattering theory in momentum space have been considered in the two-beam approximation for single crystals containing randomly distributed microdefects commensurable with extinction length. The amplitudes of coherent and diffusely scattered waves inside the crystal have been found by using the perturbation theory with average and fluctuating parts of crystal polarizability as small parameters. In the complex dispersion corrections to the wave vectors of coherent and diffuse waves, the imaginary parts of which describe the attenuation of these waves due to diffuse scattering, the dynamical effects in diffuse scattering and their dependences on the incidence angle have been taken into account. These corrections also take account of the influence of any multiple diffuse scattering processes. The coherent component of crystal reflectivity has been calculated in the approximation of semiinfinite crystal for an arbitrary diffraction geometry.
