Bragg_crystal_BC ComponentBragg_crystal_BC.comp is intended to supercede Bragg_Crystal.comp. For details see: The optics of focusing bent-crystal monochromators on X-ray powder diffractometers with application to lattice parameter determination and microstructure analysis, Marcus H. Mendenhall, David Black and James P. Cline, J. Appl. Cryst. (2019). 52, https://doi.org/10.1107/S1600576719010951 Reads atomic formfactors from a data input file. The Bragg_Crystal code reflects ray in an ideal geometry, does not include surface imperfections or mosaicity The crystal code reflects ray in an ideal geometry, i.e. does not include surface imperfections or mosaicity. The crystal planes from which the reflection is made lies in the X-Z plane on the unbent crystal rotated by an angle alpha about the Y axis with respect to the crystal surface. The crystal itself is set in the X-Z plane positioned such that the long axis of the crystal surface coincides with the Z-axis, withs normal pointing in the poisitivce Y-direction. N.B. The component does not work for rays hitting the back of the monochromator. Bragg_crystal_BC.comp is written by Marcus H. Mendenhall, NIST, Gaithersburg, MD, USA It is based on the full vector math and exact solution of the dispersion relation in Batterman and Cole, Reviews of Modern Physics 36 number 3, page 681, July 1964 This code has been validated against both experimental data (2 channel-cut 3-bounce Si 440 crystals together in non-dispersive mode, at Cu kalpha) and against theoretical rocking rocking curves from XOP for Si220 at Sc kalpha and Si440 at Cu kalpha.
