Χmin, the channeling minimum yield measured by RBS, which is the ratio of the backscattering yield when the impinging beam is aligned to a crystallographic axis to that for a random beam incidence, is a measure of the overall crystallographic disorder of the lattice. Therefore, an amorphous sample shows a Χmin of 1, while a perfect single crystal in practice corresponds to a Χmin of 0.01-0.02.
