Due to anomalous absorption, type 1 wavefields propagate in a perfect or nearly perfect crystal with a less than normal absorption. For details and the physical interpretation, see anomalous absorption.
Super-Borrmann effect
It is the enhancement of the Borrmann effect in a three-beam case, e.g. when the \(111\) and \(\overline{111}\) reflections are simultaneously excited in a silicon or germanium crystal.
History
The Borrmann effect was first discovered in quartz (Borrmann G., 1941, Über Extinktionsdiagramme der Röntgenstrahlen von Quarz. Physik Z., 42, 157-162) and then in calcite crystals (Borrmann G., 1950, Die Absorption von Röntgenstrahlen in Fall der Interferenz. Z. Phys., 127, 297-323), and interpreted by Laue (Laue, M. von, 1949, Die Absorption der Röntgenstrahlen in Kristallen im Interferenzfall. Acta Crystallogr. 2, 106-113).
The super-Borrmann effect was first observed by Borrmann G. and Hartwig W. (1965), Die Absorption der Röntgenstrahlen im Dreistrahlfall der Interferenz. Z. Krist., 121, 401-409.
