X-Ray Multiple-Wave Diffraction

X-ray multiple-wave diffraction is a sophisticated technique that arises from the scattering of X-rays by periodic structures, such as crystals and quasi-crystals. It provides crucial structural insights by being sensitive to the phases of structure factors, offering a solution to the X-ray phase problem. However, its strict conditions for generation differentiate it from two-wave diffraction. This method has proven invaluable for precise measurements in various fields, including condensed matter physics and materials science, showcasing its versatility in structural research.
