Application of theoretical intensity distribution curves to the analysis of disordered ZnS–CdS and ZnS–ZnSe crystals

Abstract

The possibility is discussed of applying the theoretical intensity distribution formulae to the structural analysis of solid solution crystals of ZnS-CdS and ZnS-ZnSe with stacking faults. It is pointed out that the irregular shape of the photometric curves, the appearance of intensity maxima connected with areas of disordered type structure, and splitting of the diffuse reflexions, renders impossible the application of theoretical intensity formulae. Theoretical intensity curves, obtained for the model of a structure with stacking faults, are proposed for structural analysis.
