modulated crystal
modulated crystal
A "modulated crystal" takes an additional modulation wave of atomic displacement or composition to the fundamental structure, whose wavelength is a non-integral number of the period of the fundamental structure. The modulation provides satellite reflections around the fundamental reflections. The features of the satellite reflections are different depending on the modulation to be a transverse wave type or a longitudinal wave type.
