Single crystal diffraction pattern of germanium

The diffraction pattern for the (111)-reflection of germanium was measured by means of the three-crystal arrangement and compared with dynamical theory. The results obtained indicate the possibility of using germanium crystals for precise measurements in X-ray spectroscopy.

In conclusion the authors thank Ing. Hrubý for preparing the germanium single crystals and participating in the preparation of the surfaces; they are also indebted to V. Smutná, R. ída and A. Irra for the care with which they carried out various tasks and V. Horáková for carefully performing the numerical calculations.
