✦ Synopsis


A quasi-universal function describing the intensity distribution of three-wave X-ray interaction in single crystals is derived for the first time from X-ray dynamical theory under the Bethe approximation for inversion-symmetry related reflections. The intensity distributions of three-wave interference can be scaled down to this dimensionless universal function with proper scaling factors. A newly derived intensity-ratio formula provides a new way of analyzing three-wave diffraction data for direct quantitative determination of X-ray reflection phases of complex systems involving macromolecules.
