Abstract

Adiabatic invariants occurring in the dynamic Laue diffraction of X rays, high-energy electrons, and thermal neutrons are calculated for asymmetric scattering by regularly strained crystals. A criterion for adiabatically smooth variations of strain is found using a generalized pendulum analogy. The conceptual equivalence of the adiabatic and ray modes of Bloch wave propagation in strained crystals is established.
