[mcstas-users] Diffraction Pattern of Si

[Linda Udby]

Hi Saed,

you are right the 220 reflection has zero intensity in the Si.laz file 
as you can see here
http://www.mcstas.org/download/components/data/Si.laz

I believe that is not correct for the diamond structure of Si (F -d 3m)

S_Si(hkl)=S_fcc(hkl)[1+exp(i pi /2)(h+k+l)]
where S_fcc(hkl)=4b_Si for h,k,l all odd or even, else S_fcc(hkl)=0

hence

S_Si(220) = 2 * S_fcc(hkl)= 8 b_Si

( but S_Si(hkl) = 0 if  [h+k+l=2(2n+1)]  )

A solution would be to generate your own reflection list (h,k,l, 
Intensity) from e.g. crystallografica and input that as datafile to  the 
component where you have used Si.laz before. When you have generated a 
better reflection list for Si I'm sure the McStas developers would be 
happy if you contribute it to the next McStas distro :)

Best wishes
Linda
