Revision as of 09:37, 27 October 2015

Sharp intersecting lines are sometimes observed in diffraction data for single-crystal or poly-crystalline materials, depending on the experimental geometry. In electron microscopy, multiple-scattering events create these Kikuchi patterns, while in x-ray scattering they may be called Kossel lines. These lines arise due to multiple-scattering effect, e.g. when the x-ray source has high divergence.

Using a high-flux x-ray source (synchrotron), one can observe a related effect purely from the diffuse scattering undergoing multiple scattering. 'Multiple diffuse scattering' (DMS) can thus give rise to weak lines in a scattering image for crystalline materials (e.g. if one's sample is supported on a silicon substrate).
