The dynamical theory was used to model X‐ray diffraction by the YZ‐cut of an LiNbO 3 crystal modulated by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). It includes both the calculation of the crystal lattice deformation, induced by a surface wave of Rayleigh type, and the simulation of X‐ray wavefields in the crystal based on Takagi–Taupin equations. A detailed discussion is included on the effect of peak splitting occurring at high acoustic amplitudes. The developed theory entirely describes this effect and proves to be a powerful tool for understanding X‐ray diffractometry and topography measurements by SAW‐modulated crystals.
