Calculates Bragg reflection zones in x-ray diffractors, suggesting improved analytical techniques for surface profiles.
The knowledge of the area and the shape of the crystal surface that reflects x-rays within a fixed range of angles and at a desired spectral resolution is determinant to evaluate the performances of a x-ray diffractor. In the present study a new mathematical approach that allows the calculation of the Bragg reflection zones has been developed and applied to spherical, toroidal and ellipsoidal diffractors. The reflecting areas of ellipsoidal and toroidal diffractors have been calculated as a function of the surface curvature parameters. Maps of the diffraction areas for different Bragg angles and bandwidths will be presented for each diffractors. The limitations of the existing methods, based on the Tailor series expansion, for the theoretical analysis of Bragg reflection zones are also discussed.
