The '''dynamical theory of diffraction''' describes the interaction of [[wave]]s with a regular lattice. The wave fields traditionally described are [[X-rays]], [[neutron radiation|neutron]]s or [[electrons]] and the regular lattice, atomic crystal structures or nanometer scaled multi-layers or self arranged systems. In a wider sense, similar treatment is related to the interaction of light with optical band-gap materials or related wave problems in acoustics.

The '''dynamical theory of diffraction''' describes the interaction of [[wave]]s with a regular [[Lattice model (physics)|lattice]]. The wave fields traditionally described are [[X-rays]], [[neutron radiation|neutron]]s or [[electrons]] and the regular lattice, are atomic [[crystal structuresstructure]]s or [[nanometer]]-scale scaled [[multi-layerslayer]]s or self -arranged systems. In a wider sense, similar treatment is related to the interaction of light with optical [[band-gap]] materials or related wave problems in [[acoustics]]. The sections below deal with dynamical diffraction of X-rays.

==Principle of theory==
The dynamical theory of diffraction considers the wave field in the periodic potential of the crystal and takes into account all multiple scattering effects. Unlike the [[Diffraction formalism|kinematic theory of diffraction]] which describes the approximate position of [[Bragg diffraction|Bragg]] or [[X-ray crystallography|Laue diffraction]] peaks in [[reciprocal space]], dynamical theory corrects for refraction, shape and width of the peaks, extinction and interference effects. Graphical representations are described in [[dispersion surfaces]] around reciprocal lattice points which fulfill the boundary conditions at the crystal interface.
