Abstract

A method for extracting quantitative information from weak diffraction features at or near matrix reflections is described. The technique requires an accurate knowledge of the fall-off of the matrix reflection. This fall-off was studied both experimentally and theoretically for a wide range of coherence conditions in the microscope. Subtraction of this matrix contribution from the total intensity of an [004] reflection from a E=13 (001) twist boundary shows that the streak arises from local as well as from long range interference effects. The latter contribution varies with spatial coherence length which depends on the condenser setting of the microscope.
