Abstract
A generalized solution to the problem of multiple-beam dynamical x-ray diffraction from single and layered crystals with vertical strain is presented. The new formalism embraces all possible diffraction geometries, including extreme cases of grazing and normal incidence and emergence. The expressions for the diffracted wave amplitudes were obtained as recursion formulas. Numerical simulations were implemented and shown to be computationally stable. The formalism was successfully tested using experimental data obtained from a SiC/Si single-layered structure in a 90° diffraction geometry.
