multiple scattering

multiple scattering

When the incident electrons travel a specimen, these electrons strike the constituent atoms in the specimen many times until these electrons exit from the specimen and change their traveling direction. This (scattering) phenomenon is termed "multiple scattering." Among the theories related to multiple scattering, the dynamical diffraction theory, which treats multiple scattering due to elastic scattering (Bragg reflection), provides the intensities of the incident and diffracted waves as a function of specimen thickness and scattering angle.
