The work describes a method for determining the orientation of crystallographic planes in thin samples using both asymmetric Bragg reflection and asymmetric Laue transmission method.
The method is based on the extension of a system of nonlinear equations for the reflection case. The solutions of the system of nonlinear equations in question can be positive, negative or mixed with physical significance. The positive solutions correspond to reflection case, while the negative solutions are for transmission case. The mixed solutions were generated for the planes {111} in a cubic structure.
A theoretical test is given for a silicon sample. The results are in good agreement with the experimental results given in literature.
