“…Since the pioneering papers of Fox & Carr (1931), Langer (1931) and Barrett & Howe (1932), diffraction of X-rays and neutrons in a crystal volume modulated by ultrasonic waves has attracted a large number of experimental and theoretical studies (White, 1950;Saccocio et al, 1967;Haruta, 1967;Carlson et al, 1971;Kö hler et al, 1974;LeRoux et al, 1975LeRoux et al, , 1976Entin & Assur, 1981;Chapman et al, 1983;Punegov & Pavlov, 1994). The observed experimental rocking curves were explained using the dynamical scattering theory (Kö hler et al, 1974;Authier, 2001), including the phenomenon of X-ray acoustic resonance (Entin & Assur, 1981;Punegov & Pavlov, 1994).…”
