17. Most common in single crystal studies is to move
(usually rotate) crystal
Consider crystal placed at sphere center
oriented w/ planes of points in reciprocal
lattice as below
Ewald construction

18. Looking down on one plane of points....
the equatorial plane:
Ewald construction

19. Looking down on one plane of points....
the equatorial plane
No points on sphere (here, in 2-D, a circle);
must rotate reciprocal lattice to
observe reflections.
rotate around axis here,
perpendicular to screen
Ewald construction

20. Looking down on one plane of points....
the equatorial plane
Must rotate reciprocal lattice to
observe reflections.
rotate around axis here,
perpendicular to screen
Ewald construction

21. Looking down on one plane of points....
the equatorial plane
Must rotate reciprocal lattice to
observe reflections.
rotate around axis here,
perpendicular to screen

24. hk0 reflected rays all lie in the equatorial plane.
hk1 reflected rays lie in a cone.
Ewald construction

25. hk0 reflected rays all lie in the equatorial plane.
hk1 reflected rays lie in a cone.

26. Sheet of film or image paper wrapped
cylindrically around crystal....
Ewald construction

27. Sheet of film or image paper wrapped
cylindrically around crystal.... looks like this
after x-ray exposure of oscillating crystal
.....when flattened:
Ewald construction

28. To see reflections:
move sphere
move crystal
change sphere size
Ewald construction
real space reciprocal space
only one set
of planes -
one (hkl)
use polycrystalline sample
