Abstract

The interaction of weak electrical field with the molecular dipole of the MBA-NP crystals is investigated. Such interaction affects the misorientation and size of the perfect diffracting regions of the crystal, which is monitored by mapping the Bragg-surface diffraction condition. This diffraction technique has also confirmed that the diffracting regions are large enough to allow primary extinction and the non-uniform mosaicity along the crystal surface.
