Neutron forward diffraction by Bragg prisms<br />
For a single crystal prism operating in a Bragg configuration, dynamical diffraction effects bring<br />
about strong deviations from the amorphous prism scenario. For a single crystal prism, if neutron<br />
incidence is set close to a Bragg reflection i.e., θ ~ θ B - θ S just outside the total reflection domain,<br />
unreflected neutrons traverse the prism at an angle Δ to the incidence surface and exit the side face<br />
Fig.9 Neutron propagation through amorphous and single crystal prisms. For the single crystal<br />
prism, additional beams emerge from front and side faces and the transmitted beam undergoes a<br />
significant lateral displacement.<br />
