Miller Indices for Crystal Planes c/l b/k a/h Lattice vectors are a, b, c (hkl) are the Miller indices for the plane with intercepts a/h, b/k, c/l Spacing between planes with Miller indices (hkl) is denoted ahkl For cubic crystal with lattice constant a, ahkl = a / (h2 + k2 + l2)½

Diffraction Incident wave, k = 2p/l Incident particles (electrons, x-rays) treated as a plane wave (large distances, R; far-field or Fraunhofer diffraction condition) Amplitude of incident wave at point P in crystal (polar notation): ψP(r,t) = A e i k·(R+r) – iwt phase Incident wave, k = 2p/l R O r crystal P

Diffraction Amplitude at detector D due to scattering from point P : ψD,P(r,t) = ψP(r,t)r(r) e i k´·(R´-r) R´- r  scattering density = electron probability density In structural analysis we are interested in determining r(r) S D R R´ R´ - r O r crystal P

ψD,P(r,t) = ψP(r,t)r(r) e i k´·(R´-r) Diffraction ψD,P(r,t) = ψP(r,t)r(r) e i k´·(R´-r)  R´- r  w´ = w  Forced oscillation; elastic scattering S D R R´ R´ - r O r crystal P

For large R´ (far-field or Fraunhofer diffraction condition): ψD,P(r,t) = ψP(r,t)r(r) e i k´·(R´-r) = [(A/R´)e-iwt ei(k·R+k´·R´)] r(r)ei(k-k´)·r R´ S D R R´ R´ - r O r crystal P

Diffraction ψD,P(r) ~ r(r) ei(k-k´)·r ~ r(r) e -i K·r scattering vector, K = k´ - k S D R R´ R´ - r O r crystal P

Diffraction Total amplitude of wave scattered from crystal: ψ ~ ∫ r(r) e - i K·r dr Amplitude is the Fourier transform of the scattering density Total intensity: I ~ ∫ r(r) e - i K·r dr 2 phase problem : we measure intensity not amplitude must determine structure by comparison of experimental diffraction pattern with simulated pattern from model structure V

Diffraction Incident wave is elastically scattered by atomic array Constructive interference occurs in specific directions Incident wave, k = 2p/l Scattered Waves k' = 2p/l a

Same physics as diffraction grating slit N ... Optical path length difference q q ... P slit 1

Constructive interference occurs when: Path length difference = ml Diffraction Constructive interference occurs when: Path length difference = ml 2ahkl sinq = ml (Bragg condition) m = diffraction order = 1, 2, 3, … q’s that satisfy the Bragg condition are called Bragg angles, qb k' k k' k q A ahkl r B

Note : q defined relative Diffraction Note : q defined relative to surface plane, not the surface normal (as in optics) k' k k' k q A ahkl r B

Constructive interference occurs when Df = 2p or K = (2p/ahkl) n Diffraction Phase difference between plane waves reflected from atoms such as A and B is Df = (k' – k)•r = K•r Constructive interference occurs when Df = 2p or K = (2p/ahkl) n (Laue condition) n = unit vector along surface normal k' k k' k q A ahkl r B

ghkl = (2p/ahkl)n is called a reciprocal lattice vector Diffraction K = (2p / ahkl) n (Laue condition) ghkl = (2p/ahkl)n is called a reciprocal lattice vector ghkl is normal to the hkl set of crystal planes K = ghkl k' ghkl = (2p / ahkl) n qb qb k qb

Miller Indices ghkl c/l b/k a/h Lattice vectors are a, b, c Reciprocal lattice vectors are a*, b*, c* ghkl = (ha* + kb* + lc*) is orthogonal to hkl plane; h, k, l are integers

The set of all ghkl points is called reciprocal space Diffraction The set of all ghkl points is called reciprocal space ghkl defines a point in reciprocal space for each set of crystal planes in real space with spacing ahkl ghkl Origin, O

Diffraction Sphere of radius k= 2p/l is called the Ewald sphere C  k = 2p/l O

Diffraction K = ghkl (Laue condition) Laue condition is satisfied by any reciprocal lattice point that intersects the Ewald sphere (hkl) k' ghkl C 2qb k O

Diffraction Crystal Crystal = Unit cell + Basis (e.g., fcc)

Diffraction r = rm + rn + ra ra rn rm position vector from centre of charge distribution within each atom position of mth unit cell position of nth atom in each unit cell ra rn rm O

Diffraction Total scattering amplitude is ψ ~ ∫ r(r) e -i K·(rm + rn + ra) dr = S [ ∫ rn(ra) e-iK·ra dra] e-iK·(rm+rn) = S fn e-iK·rn S e-iK·rm phase difference m,n A atomic scattering factor, fn Tabulated for each element n m structure factor, F shape factor

Diffraction Amplitude of wave scattered from a single unit cell: F = Σ fn exp -iK·rn position of atom n in unit cell Structure factor n phase difference scattering factor from atom n summation over n atoms in unit cell Assumes electrons only scatter once (kinematic approximation)

Diffraction Amplitude of wave diffracted from unit cell at Bragg angle (Laue condition): F = Σ fn exp -i ghkl·rn Diffraction spots will appear when F ≠ 0 F (the diffraction pattern) is the Fourier transform of fn (the crystal structure) F = Σ fn exp -i K·rn n  n

Diffraction e.g., fcc lattice 4 atoms per unit cell (one at each lattice point) at r1 = (0a + 0b + 0c) r2 = (½a + ½b + 0c) r3 = (½a + 0b + ½c) r4 = (0a + ½b + ½c) c 4 3 b 2 1 a

Diffraction F = Σ fn exp -i ghkl·rn ghkl = (ha*+ kb*+ lc*) r1 = (0a + 0b + 0c) r2 = (½a + ½b + 0c) r3 = (½a + 0b + ½c) r4 = (0a + ½b + ½c) F = f [ 1 + e-ip(h+k) + e-ip(h+l) + e-ip(k+l) ] 0 if h, k, l are mixed (even & odd) integers 4f if h, k, l are unmixed (all even or all odd) e.g., (400) → F = 4f e.g., (211) → F = 0 n F =

Diffraction F = 0 are called forbidden reflections Not all reciprocal lattice points satisfying the Laue condition will result in a diffraction spot (hkl) k' ghkl C qb k O

Diffraction e.g., bcc lattice 2 atoms per unit cell at r1 = (0a + 0b + 0c) r2 = (½a + ½b + ½c) F = f [1 + e-ip(h+k+l) ] 0 if h+k+l is odd 2f if h+k+l is even F = c 2 b 1 a

Diffraction A unit cell may have a basis with different atoms e.g., bcc structure for NiAl rNi = (0a + 0b + 0c) rAl = (½a + ½b + ½c) F = fNi + fAle-ip(h+k+l) fNi – fAl if h+k+l is odd fNi + fAl if h+k+l is even Weak spots appear called superlattice peaks or spots The more intense peaks are called the fundamentals F =

Diffraction The symmetry and forbidden reflections of the diffraction pattern can be used to determine the crystal structure Structure Forbidden Reflections Simple cubic None fcc h, k, l mixed (odd and even) bcc h+k+l odd Zincblende h, k, l mixed odd and even Sodium Chloride Diamond h, k, l all even and h+k+l not divisible by 4; or h, k, l mixed odd and even

Diffraction Total scattering amplitude near the Bragg angle is ψ = Σ fn exp -i(ghkl + s)·(rn + rm) Position of atom n in unit cell n,m Small deviation from Laue condition Position of mth unit cell in crystal Sum over all unit cells, m, in sample and all atoms, n, per unit cell

Diffraction s k' ghkl C k O

Diffraction Total scattering amplitude near the Bragg angle is ψ = Σ fi exp -i(ghkl+s)·(rn + rm) = Σ[Σ fnexp -i(gkhl+s)·rn]exp -i(ghkl+s)·rm = F Σ exp -i(ghkl·rm) exp -i(s·rm) n,m m n = structure factor, F, since s << ghkl m = 1 since ghkl = (ha* + kb* + lc*) rm = (n1a + n2b + n3c) where h, k, l, n1, n2, n3 = integer ghkl·rm = 2p (n1h + n2k + n3l)

Diffraction ψ = F Σ exp -i (s·rm) For rectangular crystal with dimensions xa, yb, zc : ψ = F sin(½sxxa) sin(½syyb) sin(½szzc) ½sxxa ½sy yb ½sz zc V = sample volume = xaybzc For a thin film z << x, y Assume sx = sy = 0 ψ = F sin (½szzc) V ½sz m shape factor

Diffraction ψ = F sin (½szzc) V ½sz Now zc = film thickness, t ψ = F sin (½szt) V ½sz Intensity of diffracted wave is : I = ψ2 = (F/V)2 [( sin(½szt) )/(½sz)]2 = (tF/V)2 sinc2(½szt)

Diffraction I = ψ2 = (tF/V)2 sinc2(½szt) I = 0 when x = ±p p 2p 3p I = 0 when x = ±p width, 2p = 2 (½szt) = szt sz = 2p / t

Diffraction Due to finite thickness of the film, each reciprocal lattice point may be considered as streaks with length 2p/t 2p/t k' ghkl C k O

The thinner the film the greater the “streaking” Diffraction The thinner the film the greater the “streaking” Lattice points become lattice rods for very thin films (monolayers) from Ohring, Fig. 7-27, p. 346
