39. Nematic streak: a pattern of unstructured scattering intensity in the powder diffractogram, with a sharp rise at small scattering angles. Although the integrated intensity of a streak can be very large, it is not necessarily observable in the powder XRD of a nonoriented sample due to its large signal width. Streaks can be observed in fibers and other oriented preparations.
