Kikuchi patterns
Revision as of 17:12, 13 October 2015 by KevinYager (talk | contribs)
Sharp intersecting lines are sometimes observed in scattering data for single-crystal materials (e.g. if one's sample is supported on a silicon substrate). In electron microscopy, these are called Kikuchi patterns, while in x-ray scattering there may be called Kossel lines.
These arise from the intersection of the detector plane (Ewald sphere) with the reciprocal-space scattering.
