Bragg’s peak

At velocities near the Bragg s peak it is no longer correct to calculate se using formulas (5.2) and (5.4) with hf given by formula (5.3) in which the sum is carried out over all electron shells. A number of methods have been developed to deal with this situation. The most widely used among them is the following. Leaving the definition (5.3) of IM unaltered, one introduces the inner shell corrections into formulas (5.2) and (5.4). Such corrections have been calculated, for instance, in Refs. 22 and 155-159. 

At v < v0Z213 the effective charge zeff is proportional to v/v0. So the dependence of se on velocity in this case is solely due to the logarithmic term in formula (5.2), which decreases as the ion s velocity falls. Consequently, as the ion slows down, se must also decrease, that is, its behavior is exactly opposite to the case of protons and alpha particles, where se increases as the particle s velocity falls, until it approaches Bragg s peak. In Section VIII.D we will show how this particuliarity affects the structure of the track of a multicharged ion. 

This inverse Fourier transform calculation of the correlations of density of scattering centres of the sample gives particularly precise results when this sample is a crystal. In this case p(f) is periodic. The scattered intensities are then 8 functions , or Dirac s functions, that are zero almost everywhere, except for well-defined values of 2 where they take on great amplitudes. They are known as Bragg peaks for which all scattered waves have the same phase. Interferences of all these waves are consequently constructive in the directions where Bragg s peaks appear. This is the consequence of the mathematical result that the... 

When there is constructive interference from X rays scattered by the atomic planes in a crystal, a diffraction peak is observed. The condition for constructive interference from planes with spacing dhkl is given by Bragg s law.

XRD data for selected samples are shown in Table 1. The interplanar spacings, doo2 and doo4, were evaluated from the positions of the 002 and 004 peaks respectively by applying Bragg s equation. The crystallite size Lc along the c-axis was calculated from the 002 peak using the Sherrer formula... 

A peak caused by the addition of Bragg reflections from the A and B components of the MQW. This is the zero-order or average mismatch peak, from which the average composition of the A-i-B layers may be obtained by differentiation of Bragg s law.

Thus, the application of the Bragg s equation to the scattering peak at20 = 18 and applying a correction of 20% yields an interchain distance ca 6A. As a function of the degree of sulpho-nation and relative humidity, this distance appears to be constant.

(The notation 20 is conventionally used for the scattering angle, as this relates to the theoretical interpretation given in Fig. 1.7.) The different peaks in (b) come from crystals oriented at different angles, so as to satisfy Bragg s Law (eqn 1.10) for an appropriate set of atomic planes.

The next peak is at 14.066° and d = 6.2911 A. Note that as 9 increases, d decreases, a resnlt of the inverse relationship of these quantities in Bragg s equation.
