Popis: By solving the kinetic equation for the density matrix of fast electrons the intensity distribution of the diffuse background and the Kikuchi lines and bands is found. It is shown that the Kikuchi pattern contrast depends on the angle of deflection of the scattered particles and the crystal thickness. For a thin crystal the expressions obtained coincide with the usual results found in the single inelastic scattering approximation. The theory takes into account both the dynamical diffraction and multiple inelastic scattering of electrons and gives a simple interpretation of a variety of contrast effects observed in thick single crystals.
