Abstract
A procedure is described for the experimental determination of phase relationships among x-ray reflections from single crystals. It is shown that when three or more sets of planes diffract simultaneously, the spatial distribution of reflection intensities becomes a sensitive function of the reflection phases. The dynamical theory of diffraction accounts satisfactorily for the intensity variations and is used to establish phase relationships directly from the intensity data.Keywords
