Influence of ultrasonic vibrations on thermal diffuse scattering in X-ray dynamical diffraction conditions

A theory of thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) in a crystal disturbed by high frequency ultrasonic vibrations is considered. In this case additional X-ray reflexes (satellites) are formed which can be used for obtaining information about vibrational excitations in a crystal. By varying the incident angle one can excite all the satellites one after another and detect the variation in the TDS yield. The possibilities of the experimental observation of these phenomena will also be discussed.
