X-ray Diffraction Effects in Defect ZnS Single Crystals.
Abstract:
X-ray techniques have been used to investigate single ZnS crystals
grown according to Bridgman by vertical oriented crystallization under
an argon pressure of 5-6 MPa. These crystals consist of microtwins misoriented
to each other by 60o about the axis {111}. Some reflections
show multiple diffraction. This is manifested in extra narrow lines on
the topographs and additional reflections on the diffraction patterns.
The model of the multiple diffraction, based on the assumption that
the effect increases when the phase invariant is equal to zero, has been
considered. This model describes the experiment satisfactorily.
