Component Manual for the Xray-Tracing Package McXtrace, version 3.8.6

12.2  The Bragg_crystal_simple McXtrace Component

Perfect Bragg reflecting slab

Identification

Description

Rectangle of matter perfectly reflecting the incident X-ray beam that fulfills Bragg’s law for a set of scattering vectors in the vicinity of the theoretical Q given a d-spacing. The rectangle is in the x-y plane.

Example: Bragg_crystal_simple( yheight=0.05, xwidth=0.02, DM=3.1356, err_Q= 0.000075, r0=1.0)
