16 Bragg Scattering X-ray plane waves with propagation vector k electron number density n(r) n(r + t) = n(r) translation in reciprocal lattice space: g
17 n(r) = g n g exp[ig r] n(r + t) = g n g exp[ig (r + t)] n(r + t) = g n g exp[ig r] exp[ig t] = n(r) n(r) = g n g exp[ig r] exp[ig t] = g n g exp[ig r] exp[ig t] = 1 => g t = 2πn and finally n(r) = g n g exp[ig r] = n(r + t) for all t S
18 scattering amplitude of incident plane waves, F( k) is given by F( k) = n(r)exp[ir (k - k )]dr and k k - k where k is the direction of propagation of the scattered wave and the integral is taken over all lattice sites and noting that n(r) = g n g exp[ig r], F( k) = g n g exp[ir (g - k)]dr which allows us to conclude that the scattering amplitude is at a maximum when g = k and using the definition of k k = k + g
19 then the elastic scattering of the x-rays implies (k + g) 2 = k 2 = k 2 completing the square yields the two bragg conditions: g 2 + 2(k g) = 0 2(k g) = g 2 after noting that if g is a reciprocal lattice basis vector, so is -g k g = k g cos(ß) ß = θ - π/2 => k g = k g sin(θ), now 2 k sin(θ) = g 2 t sin(θ) = g t / k after noting t = d and k = 2π/λ then g t / k = nλ so finally 2dsin(θ) = nλ

22 Bloch s Theorem s S, then s(exp[ik r]) exp[isk r] and sf(r) = f(s -1 r) implies s(exp[ik r]) = exp[ik s -1 r] now considering the crystal system described by the space group S, then the potential has periodicity defined by t such that V(r) = V(r + t) Bloch s Theorem States: Ψ k (r) = u k (r)exp[ik r] where u k (r) = u k (r + t)
23 Consider the electrons in the crystal defined by S HΨ = EΨ [H - E]u k (r)exp[ik r] = 0 [H - E]u k (r) = 0 u k (r) is then a solution of Schrodinger s equation for the crystal Probability density Ψ k (r + t) 2 = u k (r + t) 2 exp[i(k r) - i(k r)] = u k (r + t) 2 Ψ k (r + t) = u k (r + t) = u k (r) = Ψ k (r) Energy Ψ k (r + t) = exp[ik t + ik r]u k (r + t) = exp[ik t]ψ k (r) H(Ψ k (r + t)) = H(exp[ik t])ψ k (r) = E(exp[ik t])ψ k (r) E(k) = E(exp[ik t]) = E(exp[i(k + g) t]) = E(k + g)
