PerfectCrystal ComponentPerfect crystal component, primarily for use as monochromator and analyzer in backscattering spectrometers. Reflection from a single Bragg reflex of a flat or spherical surface is simulated using a Darwin, Ewald or Gaussian profile. Doppler movement of the monochromator is supported as well. Orientation of the crystal surface is *different* from other monochromator components! Gravitational energy shift for tall analyzers should work in principle, but it not tested yet. See the parameter description on how to define the geometry and properties.

| facette | m | width of square crystal facettes arranged on the spherical surface (set 0 to disable). Default: 0 Warning: Facettation will fail at the poles along +-y axis. | 0 | |
| facette_xi | deg | random misalignemt of each facette. Default: 0 | 0 | |
| centerfocus | 0/1 | Component origin is the center of the analyzer sphere if 1, if set to 0 the origin is on the analyzer surface. Default: 0 | 0 | |
