Crystal bending in triple-Laue X-ray interferometry: Theory

What is it about?

We give a comprehensive analytical model of the operation of a triple-Laue interferometer having the splitting or recombining crystal bent.

Why is it important?

The measured value of the bulk lattice parameter of 28Si using X-ray interferometry is essential to realize the kilogram by counting 28Si atoms. However, analytical and numerical studies of the X-ray propagation in bent crystals suggest that the measured lattice spacing might refer to the crystal surface. Our study confirms these clues and supports experimental tests.
