What is it about?
Surface acoustic wave propagation in solids leads to a sinusoidal modulation of a crystal lattice, which acts as a diffraction grating for X-ray radiation.

Why is it important?
It is important beacause it is usefull method to measure the acoustic wave amplitude, acoustic wave penetration depth and attenuation.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. This article also lead to rare disease groups contacting me and ultimately to a greater involvement in rare disease research.
