How do I calculate diffraction intensity for a 2D lattice?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the intensity of diffraction spots for a 2D lattice after Bragg diffraction, one approach is to designate the strongest spot and observe that surrounding spots decrease in intensity with distance. The intensity distribution is influenced by factors such as the lattice structure and the type of diffraction being performed. Reference material, such as "Introduction to X-Ray Powder Diffractometry," provides example calculations that can guide the process. Understanding the specific diffraction method is crucial for accurate intensity calculations. Proper application of these principles will yield the desired diffraction intensity results.

Homework Statement


How do I figure out the intensity of diffraction spots after doing Bragg diffraction on a particular 2D lattice?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I'll guess I make 1 spot in the diffraction pattern the strongest, and the diffraction spots around it decrease in intensity as the spots get further away from the first spot.

Any ideas? Thanks!

It depends on the type of diffraction you're doing, but on chapter three of the below book they do an example calculation.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
