Anomalous X-ray Diffraction Intensities

Abstract

The general explanation of the observations previously described under the above heading¹ probably follows, as stated there, from the well-known Laue equations connecting line-breadth with the size of a crystallite measured in a direction a₁. I have recently become aware of a paper by R. Brill,² in which this aspect of Laue's work first appears to have been demonstrated quantitatively, and I would like to add this to my former note in order to direct attention to that paper.
