Course detail
FSI-TFMAcad. year: 2012/2013
The course deals with the Fourier transform of functions of several variables and its use in diffraction theory and in structure analysis. The introductory parts are focused on the definition of the Fourier transform, spatial frequencies, spectrum of spatial frequencies and on the relevance of the Fourier transform to the diffraction theory. Then, the properties of the Fourier transform are presented via mathematical theorems and are illustrated by the Fraunhofer diffraction patterns. In this way a view of the general properties of the diffraction phenomena of this type is obtained. At the end the kinematical theory of diffraction by crystals is presented as an application of the Fourier transform of three-dimensional lattices. Analytical evaluation of the Fourier transform is exercised in tutorials and the Fraunhofer diffraction phenomena are registered by an optical diffractometer in the laboratory, and are interpreted in detail. The course puts accent on the common features of the diffraction in optics (two-dimensional objects) and in structure analysis (three-dimensional objects). Also emphasised are the common features of various methods of structure analysis (X-rays, neutrons, LEED, HEED). This way, the course provides a basis for activities in the Fourier optics and in various branches of structure analysis.
