Equation Bragg-Laue

Bragg s law is a special case of the Laue equations which define the condition for diffraction (constructive interference) to occur ... 

This combines Bragg s equation and Laue s three equations. 

These are the Laue equations. Note there are solutions only for special values of 6 and X. It will now be shown that these equations are equivalent to the Bragg law. 

The integers h, k, I in the Laue equations may not be identical with the Miller indices because the h, k, I of the Laue equations may contain a common integral factor n which has been eliminated from the Miller indices. Thus, the Bragg law can be written as... 

Both the Laue equations and the Bragg law can be derived from Eq. (7). The former are obtained by forming the dot product of each side of the equation and the three crystal-lattice vectors aj, aj, sl successively. For example,... 

Q.28.1 Show that Equation (29.12) is a general form of the Bragg equation as derived from the von Laue equations.

Diffraction is described by either Bragg or von Laue equations. The Bragg equation relates as a condition for constructive interference the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation k to the interplanar distance a and the observation angle 0... 

These conditions are the so-called Laue equations from which the X-ray diffraction patterns as well as the Bragg relation can be derived (see exercise 2.3). 

Derive the Laue equation and from here the Bragg condition. 

A great amount of information about the structure of crystals has been obtained by use of the x-ray diffraction method. The diffraction of x-rays by crystals was discovered by Max von Laue in 1912. Shortly thereafter W. L. Bragg discovered the Bragg equation, and in 1913 he and his father, W. H. Bragg, published the first structure determinations of crystals. 

Equations (1) are the von Laue conditions, which apply to the reflection of a plane wave in a crystal. Because of eqs. (1), the momentum normal to the surface changes abruptly from hk to the negative of this value when k terminates on a face of the BZ (Bragg reflection). At a general point in the BZ the wave vector k + bm cannot be distinguished from the equivalent wave vector k, and consequently... 

Shortly after von Laue s suggestion and its validation, Bragg produced his equation. He showed that conditions for interference would be reached when... 

F. Then the intensity / for the model, expressed in electron units, can be divided into two terms the usual Laue-Bragg (crystal) reflections, CR> arising from F, and the diffuse scattering, /rs, from the random stacking [equations (14) and (15)] where /V, A/j and /V, are the numbers of cells along... 

Since the spacing between lattice planes dhki s a function of the unit cell dimensions and the indices h,k,l of those crystal planes, Bragg was able to equate the integers from Equation 3.1 of the Laue... 

The angles at which diffraction occurs depend, in an inverse manner, on the periodicity of the crystal lattice. Such diffraction may be considered in terms of path differences (Laue) or reflection from lattice planes (Bragg). The Bragg equation, nX = 2dsin 0, describes the positions of diffracted beams. 

Lane equations Equations that, like the Bragg equation, express the conditions for diffraction in terms of the path difference of scattered waves. Laue considered the path length differences of waves that are diffracted by two atoms one lattice translation apart. These path differences must be an integral number of wavelengths for diffraction (that is, reinforcement) to occur. This condition must be true simultaneously in all three dimensions. 

This unsatisfactory feature of the kinematic theory of interference from the theoretical point of view was pointed out by Laue himself and formed the first incentive to further development. Bragg s law of reflection and Polanyi s layer line relationship are special cases of Laue s general equations (2). The former, without saying anything about the intensity, states that when light of wavelength A is reflected at a series of planes at distance d apart the angle 6 between the primary ray and the reflected ray is determined by the equation... 

In the above treatment, which is analogous to the Bragg treatment of x-ray diffraction, the assumption of specular reflection is made. This can be avoided by a treatment similar to Laue s derivation of his diffraction equations. 

Figure 2. X-ray standing wave field formed in a crystal and above its surface by the interference of incident and Bragg-diffracted monochromatic X-ray plane waves. The inset shows the reciprocal space diagram for the Laue condition described by Equation (4).

Our identification of the twin walls was based on the setting of one selected domain, referred to as "reference" domain. Using the transformation matrices given in Table 1 we determine the orientation matrices of all allowed domain states according to equation (1). We take for example the domain TRl as a "reference", i.e. Di, and perform the calculations with respect to its orientation matrix. With the orientation matrices determined in this way we calculate the positions of the Bragg reflections of all domain states in the Laue diffraction pattern. 

In the early 1900s Max von Laue had predicted that X rays would be diffracted by the atomic nuclei in a crystal. The father and son team of William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg developed equipment and equations, respectively, for extracting information about the structure of molecules from the X-ray diffraction pattern in a process that has been described as a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle.
