[Ifeffit] Double crystal monochromator

2009-12-04 Thread sankaran anantharaman
Hi everyone, Could anyone help me with this. Why is that the Darwin reflectitivity curve plotted versus rotation angle (in text books for example) and rocking curve plotted against rotation angle (observed in the oscilloscope at XAS beamlines for example) look different? I understand that the

Just to follow up a little on Matthew's answer: The Darwin width is the angular width over which a particular reflection will diffract. A rocking curve measurement usually leaves one crystal at a fixed angle and rotates the second crystal. For a perfectly collimated beam, the resulting
