Wide angle X-ray dynamical diffraction by deformed crystals: Recurrence relations

Dynamical wide-angle multiwave X-ray diffraction from a deformed crystal was considered, for the special case when no more than one strong reflection occurs at a time. The obtained set of equations can be transformed to the Takagi two-beam approximation if the scattering vector is close to a vector of the reciprocal lattice. The new formalism was employed to obtain recurrence relations for the amplitude reflection coefficient corresponding to laterally homogeneous multilayer structures for the case of coplanar Bragg diffraction.
