  • Method for determining parameters of a unit cell of a crystal structure using diffraction
    Patent number: 6411676
    Abstract: A method for determining the parameters of a unit cell of a crystal structure using diffraction is presented. The method includes the steps of repeatedly rotating the crystal at a predetermined angle, while the crystal moves in relation to a detection surface and measuring the position of radiation reflected from the crystal. The resulting combined measurements are utilized to accurately determine the unit cell dimension and orientation of the crystal.
