forbidden reflection

forbidden reflection

Even when a set of lattice planes of a crystal satisfies the Bragg condition, its reflection intensity becomes 0 or vanishes if its crystal structure factor is 0 (zero). Such a reflection is called "forbidden reflection." There are two kinds of forbidden reflections, which occur due to the type of space lattice and the symmetry element of the space group.
