diffract's Usage Examples:

diffract strongly at specific angles that are dependent on the separation between the planes.

In the 1930's, X-ray diffraction studies of solids showed that polymers contained large macromolecules.

The new cavity configuration allowed tuning of the laser continuously over 25 nm of the erbium gain bandwidth by using a bulk diffraction grating.

The chromatic halos which frequently encircle these images are due to diffraction.

They are due to the interposition of small spherules of water, which act the part of diffracting obstacles.

diffract reasonably well?It does n't diffract in-house but does at synchrotron sources.

Consider now the light diffracted in a direction many times more oblique than any with which we should be concerned, were the whole aperture uninterrupted, and take first the effect of a single small aperture.

The best way to find out the structure of a crystalline solid like a zeolite is to use single crystal X-ray diffraction.

By the principle of energy the illumination over the entire focal plane must be equal to that over the diffracting area; and thus, in accordance with the suppositions by which (3) was obtained, its value when integrated from E co to -1-x, and from n - oo to n -1-oo should be equal to ab.

By this procedure the width of the central band in the diffraction pattern is halved, and so far an advantage is attained.

The Phenix is a unique closed cycle helium cryostat specifically designed for powder diffraction.

The railings in fact do for sound what a diffraction grating does for light.

, was but a nervous sickly boy bandied between two women:From the Fraunhofer formula I X/n sin a one can immediately deduce the limit to the diffraction constant I, so that the banding by an objective of fixed numerical aperture can be perceived.
