Layer-Line and Debye Photographs by means of the Characteristic X-Rays of the Crystal Itself
Abstract
THE anomalous X-ray reflections from rotating crystals reported by Clark and Duane1 and first ascribed to characteristic radiation of the crystal itself have since been regarded as due to other phenomena. The Quellen-Strdhlung of W. Kossel2 emitted by single-crystal anticathodes and found by G. Borrmann3 on exciting the crystal with X-rays is not able, however, to account for the layer-line and Debye photographs produced by us4 using either an X-ray source giving only `white' radiation or a tube with copper or iron anticathode.
