The Takagi-Taupin equations are solved in their simplest form (zero deformation) to obtain the Bragg-diffracted and transmitted complex amplitudes. The case of plane-parallel crystal plates is discussed using a matrix model. The equations are implemented in an open-source Python library crystalpy adapted for numerical applications such as crystal reflectivity calculations and ray tracing.

Article Synopsis
- New analytical solutions have been developed to describe how a limited X-ray beam interacts with a thin crystal, specifically aimed at addressing diffraction.
- This new method streamlines the calculation of reflected X-ray beam angles, making it far less computationally expensive than traditional numerical approaches.
- The study involved simulating X-ray reciprocal-space mapping for a thin silicon crystal using both the new analytical solutions and established numerical methods, like 2D recurrence relations and Takagi-Taupin equations.

Article Synopsis
- - The study presents a new approach to analyze dark-field X-ray microscopy (DFXM) of deformed crystals, offering a solution when traditional methods (Takagi-Taupin equations) might lead to inaccuracies in data interpretation due to dynamical diffraction.
- - This new method uses an exact dispersion relation and incorporates a modified finite difference scheme for numerical calculations, validated by investigating a diamond crystal with varying diffraction components.
- - Results from the new method have produced DFXM images of diamond crystals (one with a stacking fault and another twisted) that differ significantly from those generated by the Takagi-Taupin equations, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability.

Fundamental equations describing the X-ray and electron diffraction scattering in imperfect crystals have been derived in the form of the matrix Fredholm-Volterra integral equation of the second kind. A theoretical approach has been developed using the perfect-crystal Green function formalism. In contrast, another approach utilizes the wavefield eigenfunctions related to the diagonalized matrix propagators of the conventional Takagi-Taupin and Howie-Whelan equations.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA coupled mode theory based on Takagi-Taupin equations describing electromagnetic scattering from distorted periodic arrays is applied to the problem of light scattering from beetles. We extend the method to include perturbations in the permittivity tensor to helicoidal arrays seen in many species of scarab beetle and optically anisotropic layered materials more generally. This extension permits analysis of typical dislocations arising from the biological assembly process and the presence of other structures in the elytra.
