T. Schmidt et al., EFFECT OF THERMAL DIFFUSE-SCATTERING IN TRIPLE-CRYSTAL DIFFRACTOMETRYWITH HIGH-ENERGY SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION, Journal of applied crystallography, 31, 1998, pp. 625-633
The thermal diffuse scattering around reflection 220 of a thick, perfe
ct silicon crystal has been studied quantitatively by means of a tripl
e-crystal diffractometer and 100 keV synchrotron radiation. The necess
ary fitting procedures were simplified by deriving an analytic solutio
n to the instrumental resolution function for nondispersive setting of
three perfect crystals. The temperature and q dependence of the therm
al diffuse scattering are very well described, taking only acoustical
phonons into account; the contribution of optical phonons has been cal
culated explicitly.
