Learn how to use impurities to alter electrical or mechanical properties intentionally.
When a wave hits a periodic array of atoms, it scatters. Constructive interference occurs only when the path length difference between waves reflecting from adjacent planes is an integer multiple of the wavelength. This is mathematically defined as: nλ=2dsinθn lambda equals 2 d sine theta is the order of reflection (an integer). is the wavelength of the incident beam. is the interplanar spacing. is the angle of incidence.
