rocking curve

rocking curve

A "rocking curve" means the intensity distribution with the change of diffraction condition (with deviation from the Bragg angle). The rocking curve for a very thin specimen corresponds to the intensity distribution due to kinematical diffraction. That for a thick specimen corresponds to the intensity distribution due to dynamical diffraction and can be seen in a CBED pattern.
