Abstract

X-ray diffraction topographs obtained in the anomalous transmission geometry contain images which are quite different from those obtained from thin crystals (μL<=l). In this paper various topographic images which are unique to thick crystals (μL>10) will be presented and discussed in terms of dynamical diffraction in imperfect crystals. First, it is observed in topographs that images of crystal imperfections caused by disruption of the anomalous transmission effect are slightly broader or more diffuse in the H-diffracted (Bragg-diffracted) beam than in the O-diffracted (transmitted beam). These observations have been made in both copper and nickel crystals. Such broadening can be explained by the presence of unique extinction terms in the expression for the intensity of the dynamically diffracted beam in an imperfect crystal.
