Approximate calculation of multiple-diffraction patterns based on Renninger's kinematical `simplest approach'

E. Rossmanith

Abstract: Analytical expressions for the absolute change of the primary reflection intensity due to multiple diffraction are given in the kinematical approach. It is shown that satisfactory agreement between experiment and theory can be obtained for a mosaic crystal (diamond) as well as for a perfect crystal (silicon) even in the case of strong reflections.
