Reflection rocking width for a conventional X-ray source. From Arndt & Wonacott (1977[link], p. 7). (a) Effect of sample mosaic spread. The relp is replaced by a spherical cap with a centre at the origin of reciprocal space where it subtends an angle η. (b) Effect of (δλ/λ)conv, the conventional source type spectral spread. (c) Effect of a beam divergence angle, γ. The overall reflection rocking width is a combination of these effects.
