10. We note that whereas X-ray birefringence in dynamical diffraction is commonplace and forms the basis of polarizing devices (for example: Giles, C.; Malgrange, C.; Goulon, J.; Debergevin, F.; Vettier, C.; Dartyge, E.; Fontaine, A.; Giorgetti, C.; Pizzini, S. Energy-Dispersive Phase Plate for Magnetic Circular-Dichroism Experiments in the X-ray Range J. Appl. Crystallogr. 1994, 27, 232-240) it provides little useful information about the sample material itself
