  • Diffraction topography — (short: topography ) is an X ray imaging technique based on Bragg diffraction. Diffraction topographic images ( topographs ) record the intensity profile of a beam of X rays (or, sometimes, neutrons) diffracted by a crystal. A topograph thus… …   Wikipedia

  • Diffraction in time — is a phenomenon associated with the quantum dynamics of suddenly released matter waves initially confined in a region of space. It was introduced in 1952 by Marcos Moshinsky with the shutter problem [1]: A matter wave beam stopped by an absorbing …   Wikipedia

  • Diffraction tomography — is an inverse scattering technique used to find the shape of a scattering object by illuminating it with probing waves and recording the reflections. It is based on the diffraction slice theorem and assumes that the scatterer is weak. It is… …   Wikipedia
