Abstract

In this chapter, kinematic scattering from electrons in atoms arranged in periodic cubic lattices is described. The Laue diffraction conditions in the reciprocal space lattice are derived based on wave interference from periodic lattices. Ewald sphere construction and its interception with a reciprocal lattice are presented to illustrate the requirements of Laue conditions. The structure factors from various lattices provide conditions for allowed diffraction and forbidden diffraction from different lattices.
