Die Idee von Max von Laue (9) X-Strahlen sind elektromagnetische Wellen mit einer Wellenlänge viele kürzer als die des sichtbaren Lichtes. X-Strahlen werden an periodisch angeordneten Atomen/Molekülen im Kristall gebeugt 94 Nobelpreis für Physik

9: Begin der moderen Kristallographie X-Strahlen sind elektromagnetische Wellen mit sehr kurzer Wellenlänge ( ~ Å = 0-0 m). Kristalle sind periodische Strukturen: die innerkristallinen Abstände sind von gleicher Größenordnung wie die Wellenlänge der Röntgenstrahlen. Röntgenbeugung ist eine Methode zur Untersuchung der Struktur von Festkörpern!

Generation of Synchrotron radiation Supposing the circulating electron emits a photon at point A of orbit. M Elektron proceeds to point C via B on orbit. At point C it emits a second photon. For the electron the length For the photon emitted in A reaches this distance is AC (electron) = v* dt.
