The measured lattice-plane spacing of silicon 28 is important for counting Si-28 atoms to realize the kilogram. It is assumed that the measured lattice spacing represents the unstrained crystal forming the analyser. However, studies suggest that the measured value might refer to the surface of the analyser. To confirm these findings and support experimental investigations, a comprehensive analytical model is provided for a triple-Laue interferometer with a bent crystal.
The measured value of the (220) lattice-plane spacing of silicon 28 using scanning X-ray interferometry is essential to realize the kilogram by counting Si-28 atoms. An assumption made is that the measured lattice spacing is the bulk value of an unstrained crystal forming the analyser of the interferometer. However, analytical and numerical studies of the X-ray propagation in bent crystals suggest that the measured lattice spacing might refer to the analyser surface. To confirm the result of these studies and to support experimental investigations of the matter by phase-contrast topography, a comprehensive analytical model is given of the operation of a triple-Laue interferometer having the splitting or recombining crystal bent.
