Abstract:Synchrotron-radiation Laue patterns give valuable information on the sizes and shapes of grains in a polycrystalline material even if these are too small for synchrotron topography. A calculation, based on kinematic theory, is presented for the radial and lateral broadening of the diffraction spots obtained with white radiation. The most conspicuous broadening is to be expected when the dimensions of the reflecting planes are small and not their number: this is at variance with the conditions leading to broade… Show more
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.
