Abstract
Q-domain configurations in chromium are investigated measuring X-ray diffra ction due to charge-density wave satellites at (0 0 1) and (1 1 1) crystal faces. Scanning the reciprocal space around satellites at samples with and without preparation of single Q and making a reflection topography of CDW s atellite (0, 0, 2 +/- 2 delta) it was possible to show that a (0 0 1) face induces a single-Q state, even without any external anisotropy.
