Diffraction orders of grazing incidence

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing diffraction orders in a honeycomb lattice under grazing incidence of a 400 nm wave at a 75-degree angle to the surface normal. The primary concern is determining the conditions for diffraction that satisfy Von-Laue conditions. An attempt to solve the problem involves the relationship |G_2d| <= 2*|k_s|, where G represents the 2D reciprocal lattice vector and k denotes the scattering wavevector. There is a suggestion to consider the lattice surface structural constant for a more accurate solution. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the diffraction conditions in relation to the lattice structure.

Homework Statement


We have a honeycomb lattice. There is an incident wave of 400 nm, whose wavevector has an angle of 75 degree with the surface's normal. This problem is similar to LEEDS ( low energy electron diffraction).

Homework Equations


What is the condition of diffraction i.e. which orders achieve Von-Laue conditions ?

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried to put that |G_2d|<=2*|k_s|, where G is the 2-dimension reciprocal lattice vector, and k is the length of the scattering wavevector ( |K_incidence|=|K_scattering|).

hmm that's interesting, did you take into account the lattice surface structural constant into account?
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
