Bragg-case synchrotron double-crystal images of stacking faults were studied in a slab prepared from a synthetic diamond of a good quality. The images of stacking faults in topographs taken on the tails of the rocking curve exhibited well pronounced interference fringes. The fringes were strongly dependent on the angular setting and they were less spaced further from the maximum. The experimental images were compared with those theoretically predicted from an application of plane-wave dynamical theory. A reasonably good correspondence between theoretical and experimental images was obtained. The theoretical images of stacking faults were dependent on the type of stacking fault, producing some difference in the first fringe.
Bragg-case synchrotron section topographs were studied in parallel slabs cut from a synthetic diamond of a good quality. The topographs revealed the Pendellösung fringes and images of dislocations and other defects containing several fringe systems. The experiment provided the opportunity for studying of the theoretical dislocation images obtained by numerical integration of the Takagi-Taupin equations. A program employing a variable step of integration in the Bragg-case has been presented. The influence of the finite slit width and of the limited beam divergence on the theoretical images is also discussed.
The Haruta method is used for stereoscopic observation of a 1.5 × 4 × 4 mm^{3} cuboctahedral synthetic diamond with transmission double-crystal topography. The experiments were performed using a synchrotron double-crystal arrangement with asymmetrical diamond 220 reflection selecting 1.0 Å radiation. The appropriate Haruta pairs were matched from a series taken with positions on the rocking curve changed by small intervals. A reasonable stereoscopic effect was observed for most defect images, particularly dislocations, stacking faults and growth sector boundaries. It was established that some interference fringes do not produce good stereoscopic effects and appear on the exit surfaces of the diamond.
