Crystals behave as approximately sinusoidal gratings, so the FT gives sharp spots. If you change the X-ray transmission to be opaque triangular atoms with 100% transmission between them you just need to do a 2D FT of this to find out what the diffraction pattern would look like. Offhand I don't know what the difference would be, but you could easily do the Fourier Transform to find out. | |
