摘要

A correct interpretation of the diffraction phenomenon in crystals with low dislocation content, for which the kinematical scattering theory does not yield any reasonable results, was carried out by X-ray extinction treatments. Different approaches to investigating the dislocation-induced X-ray extinction changes are reviewed and the applicability of the statistical dynamical theory to analysis of the substructure characteristics of crystals is discussed. A relationship between the scattering amplitudes and the dislocation density in crystals is established by using pair correlation functions. A procedure for determination of the substructure characteristics by means of measurements of the integrated intensities is proposed. The tests illustrate satisfactory agreement of the investigated approaches with experimental data.
