Simulation of X-ray diffraction in a cylindrical crystal

Using the two-dimensional recurrence relations of X-ray dynamical diffraction, a numerical simulation of reflection and transmission intensity in a cylindrical crystal has been performed. It is shown that for crystals with a small radius Bragg diffraction is realized. For crystals of large radius, Bragg–Laue diffraction occurs, which is characterized by Bragg diffraction on the upper part of the crystal, as well as the presence of Pendellösung oscillations inside the cylindrical crystal. The reciprocal space maps of dynamical and kinematical diffraction have been calculated.
