These centres have been commissioned with pursuing long-term research goals on behalf of the state and society. The Association strives to gain insights and knowl edge PHOTON SCIENCE AT DESY 2020 so that it can help to preserve and improve the foundations of human life. It does this by identifying and working on the grand challenges faced by society, science and industry. Helmholtz Centres perform top-class research in strategic programmes in six core fields: Energy, Earth & Environment, Health, Aeronautics, Space and Transport, Matter, and Key Technologies. www.helmholtz.de Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY A Research Centre of the Helmholtz Association Umschlag_PhotonScience2020_ehs.indd 1 04.01.21 13:15 Imprint Publishing and Contact: Online version: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY photon-science.desy.de/annual_report A Research Centre of the Helmholtz Association Cover Realisation: Traditionally, both silicon (Si) and silicon-germanium (SiGe) have a cubic crystal Hamburg location: Wiebke Laasch, Daniela Unger structure.

Each set of parallel lattice planes is represented by spots which have a distance of 1/d (d: interplanar spacing) from the origin and which are perpendicular to the reflecting set of lattice plane. The two basic lattice planes (blue lines) of the two-dimensional rectangular lattice shown below are transformed into two sets of spots (blue). The diagonals of the basic lattice (green lines) have a smaller interplanar distance and therefore cause spots that are farther away from the origin than those of the basic lattice. The complete set of all possible reflections of a crystal constitutes its reciprocal lattice. The diffraction event can be described in reciprocal space by the Ewald sphere construction (figure 1 below). A sphere with radius λ is drawn through the origin of the reciprocal lattice. Now, for each reciprocal lattice point that is located on the Ewald sphere of reflection, the Bragg condition is satisfied and diffraction arises.

Metal target (Cu or Mo) is bombarded by accelerating electrons. The power of the system is given by P = I(mA) V(keV), where I is the current of cathode and V is the voltage between the anode and cathode. Typically, we have I = 30 mA and V = 50 kV: P = 1.5 kW. We use two kinds of targets to generate x-rays: Cu and Mo. The wavelength of CuK1, CuK2 and CuK lines are given by K1 1.540562 Å. K 2 = 1.544390 Å, K = 1.392218 Å. The intensity ratio of CuK1 and CuK2 lines is 2:1. The weighed average wavelength K is calculated as 2 K 1 K 2 = 1.54184 Å.

This work, originally published in German language, is transferred into English while the preceding foreword summarizes Hermann’s achievements. Keywords Crystal symmetry · Symmetry groups · Elasticity · Fourth-order tensor · Hermann’s theorem Foreword Introduction The work of Carl Hermann on the representation of explicit invariance requirements on tensor components due to crystal symmetries is undoubtedly a milestone in the theory of anisotropic materials. He published his approach in an article which appeared in Zeitschrift für Kristallographie (German for Journal of Crystallogra- phy,nowZeitschrift für Kristallographie—Crystalline Materials1) in 1934; cf. Hermann [13]. However, this work is not well known since it was published in German language solely. Carl Hermann (1898–1961) was a German physicist whose work focused on crystallography. He studied in Göttingen where he finished in 1923 his dissertation2 under the supervision of Max Born (1882–1970). He then moved to Stuttgart where he became an assistant of Paul Peter Ewald (1888–1985). In Stuttgart, he 1 Journal homepage http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/zkri. 2 The title of this dissertation is On the natural optical activity of some regular crystals (NaClO3 and NaBrO3): A proof of Born’s theory of crystal optics (englisch for Über die natürliche optische Aktivität von einigen regulären Kristallen (NaClO3 und NaBrO3): eine Prüfung der Bornschen Theorie der Kristalloptik) which was later published in Hermann [11].
