A direct formalism for the solution of the diffraction pattern from the faulted layer crystal is derived. The proposed method is not specific for any crystal structure. The solution avoids the need for specific planar faulting models and has a direct physical meaning. The correlation distribution function between lateral displaced layers can be directly obtained from the diffracted intensities. The solution was compared successfully to a Monte Carlo trial and error method for the fcc structure. The developed formalism was used to determine the layer-layer correlation distribution function of the Gd 2 Co 17 faulted layer structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
