Notes:
The non-integral value for the half period, \ ̃M (M 〈 \ ̃M 〈 M + 1, M:integer), as experimentally found in one-dimensional anti-phase domain structures, is explained by a disordered structure consisting of a mixture of two kinds of structure units with thicknesses of M and M + 1 layers. The diffraction intensity for the disordered structure is calculated by the use of the general diffraction theory for a one-dimensionally disordered crystal given by Kakinoki & Komura [Acta Cryst. (1965), 19, 137]. With this model the non-integral value of the half period, \ ̃M, can be explained as due to the shift between two peaks, one due to a simple APD (anti-phase domain) structure with half period, M, and the other to another simple APD structure with half period, M + 1. It is not necessary to consider a very large value of the period as was required in Fujiwara's model [Fujiwara, J. Phys. Soc. Japan (1957), 12, 7], which was proposed assuming a disordered structure, deviating from the standard structure defined by a step function.
