Determination of the Strain Tensor and the Elastic Stress Fields in a Diamond Plate with a High Bending Curvature Using Local Laue Diffraction Data

Cylindrically bent diamond single-crystal plates have a great potential for creating energy dispersive spectrometers and focusing crystal monochromators. When they are designed, it is necessary to take into account the significant stresses that appear on bending the plates. The strain tensor and the elastic stress fields in a cylindrically bent single-crystal (110) diamond plate are calculated. The calculations are based on experimental data obtained by local Laue diffraction. The calculation results can be used to design new X-ray optical devices with the ability to control their parameters.
