<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Gavin: 1/ yes, and 2/ yes. I admit that the Euler angle approach gets confusing in a very general crystal, but for most simpler structures e.g. hexagonal systems like graphite, using just the beta angle (second angle) is all you need.<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Kevin</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 1:30 PM, Gavin Abo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gsabo@crimson.ua.edu" target="_blank">gsabo@crimson.ua.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>1) You might want to see K. Jorissen's
PhD thesis [

]. It looks like he developed Telnes while studying graphene
sheets, where the c-axis was the z-axis. So the beam goes along
the z-axis [

].<br>

2) I think the rotation matrices used for the Orientation
Sensitive are likely those given in SRC_telnes3/rotation.f. It
looks like the rotation matrices are those of the zyz convention
for the Euler angles [

]. If you set g2 (i.e., beta) as 90 degrees, it looks like the
beam will be incident on the xy-plane of the sample.<br>
