[QUOTE="hutchphd, post: 6851336, member: 635497"] Now I am confused. As usual my confusion is semantic and definitional. lFirst my favorite Feynman about naming things: [MEDIA=youtube]lFIYKmos3-s:31[/MEDIA] In my world the difference between Laue and Bragg diffraction is operational. [LIST=1] [*]For Laue diffraction one shoots a (not necessarilly monochromatic) beam of xrays at a crystal and looks at everything that comes out [*]For Bragg diffraction one looks at the specular reflection of a beam of (usually) monochromatic xrays as a function of angle [/LIST] My definitions may be idiosynchratic (?are they?) but the interactions describing the process are the same physics:[B] scattering of waves from a periodic lattice.[/B] So one needs to understand that physics and the rest depends upon the detailed questions one wishes to answer. Words you may wish to know: Miller indices, reciprocal lattice, direct lattice [/QUOTE]
