Genre: Information/Explanation

Keywords : Crystallography , Thermal diffuse Zincblende structure , Diamond structure , Solid state physics , X-ray scattering , Iii-v compounds , Silicon , Lattice dynamics , Tds , Ii-vi compounds , I-vii compounds . Classification : 7.8 , 8 . Nature of problem : Determination of single-phonon diffuse X-ray scattering in lines , areas or volumes of reciprocal space at any temperature , using eigendata given by a lattice dynamical model . Evaluation of contribution to one - phononscattering from ionic deformations , modelled by a shell model . Solution method : The elements of the analytic solution are assembled from a combination of input data , tabulated scattering factors and transformation of a minimum set of eigendata . The scattering is evaluated along lines in reciprocal space . Restrictions : Zincblende structure compounds and Group IV elements only ; may be modified for other compounds .
