Xray NanoDiffraction of Si and SiGe

[Karl330]

Hello
I have been struggling with my research on xray diffraction of crystals and had a few questions about crystallography, rocking curves(omega scan), θ-2θ scans and diffraction patterns. Let me know if you need more explanation. Thank you!

-What is the difference between a rocking curve(omega scan) and a θ-2θ scan?
-Is there any correlation between the circular diffraction pattern on a detector and θ-2θ and omega scans?
-How does one know what the primitive diffraction planes of a crystal are?(miller indices)
