“Laue method” ...<br />

Use an X-ray beam having a<br />

c<strong>on</strong>tinuum of wavelengths<br />

... which are reflected off<br />

the crystal <strong>on</strong>to a<br />

photographic plate.<br />

Spots are produced for<br />

different wavelengths that<br />

satisfy the reflecti<strong>on</strong><br />

c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> n λ = d sin θ.<br />

(θ fixed, λ variable)<br />

Spots <strong>on</strong> this ellipse<br />

produced <str<strong>on</strong>g>from</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

scattering of the same<br />

wavelength <str<strong>on</strong>g>from</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

planes bel<strong>on</strong>ging to<br />

the same z<strong>on</strong>e<br />

Experimentally easy ...<br />

... but can be hard to<br />

interpret photos.<br />

A representati<strong>on</strong> of a Laue photograph of a<br />

simple cubic crystal, produced with the X-ray<br />

beam perpendicular to the cube face.
