Effect of the ultrasonic frequency on the multiple X-ray scattering from a LiNbO{sub 3} crystal modulated by a surface acoustic wave
- Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Microelectronics Technology and High Purity Materials (Russian Federation)
The effect of multiple scattering on the formation of the {theta}-2{theta} scan curves for a crystal modulated by a surface acoustic wave (SAW), depending on the ultrasonic frequency, has been investigated in the frame-work of the dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction. A model of a Rayleigh surface wave has been analyzed as applied to X-ray diffraction with allowance for the transverse and longitudinal elastic lattice strains. Using the example of the 127 Degree-Sign Y Prime cut of the LiNbO{sub 3} crystal, it is established that the effects of multiple scattering can be neglected for ultrasonic frequencies above 650 MHz; this finding significantly simplifies the numerical calculations of X-ray diffraction from a crystal modulated by a short-wavelength SAW. A comparative quantitative analysis of the experimental data on synchrotron scattering from the 127 Degree-Sign Y Prime cut of a LiNbO{sub 3} crystal modulated by a 952-MHz SAW have been performed, both taking into account and neglecting the effects of multiple scattering. It is shown that the computation time can be reduced by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude.
