What Does ZOLZ Stand For?

ZOLZ stands for Zero Order Laue Zone

ZOLZ, or Zero Order Laue Zone, refers to a specific region in the context of Laue diffraction, where the incident x-ray beam interacts with a crystal lattice in a way that results in zero diffraction order. This zone is characterized by a continuous, non-diffracted beam, allowing for the study of defects and the structural integrity of materials without the interference of higher order diffracted beams. ZOLZ plays a crucial role in the analysis of crystallographic properties and is significant in fields such as materials science and solid-state physics.
