Dynamical diffraction calculations have been made by use of the periodic-continuation assumption for the diffuse scattering in electron diffraction patterns and for electron microscope images of single split interstitials in gold crystals for thicknesses up to 200 Å in order to demonstrate the strong fluctuations of scattering with thickness. The diffuse scattering from distributions of defects in crystals, described in terms of correlation functions, can be written in terms of 'dynamical factors' for each type of individual defect. These dynamical factors multiply the same Fourier transforms of correlation functions as are used in kinematical theory to give the effect of dynamical scattering on the diffraction intensities. Calculations of dynamical factors have been made by multi-slice dynamical diffraction methods for unit changes in atomic scattering factors and for atom displacements in gold and aluminum crystals in [001] orientation for thicknesses up to 100 Å. With increasing thickness the dynamical factors show rapidly reducing fluctuations with crystal thickness and become more nearly isotropic except for the effects of Kikuchi bands which are seen to develop.
