The intensity distribution along the debye halo of a flat specimen in connection with a new method for the determination of preferred orientations

In a previous article a new method for the determination of preferred orientations had been introduced. In this paper the formulas for the intensity distribution along the Debye halo are communicated when assuming a specimen with random orientation of crystallites. The same formulas may be used to correct for the strongly varying absorption along the Debye halo when preferred orientations have to be determined quantitatively. Moreover an expression is given for the breadth of the Debye circle which may vary strongly with the azimuth angle.
