As synchrotrons advance, new techniques are developed and there is a need for simple formulations to describe them. One of these techniques is soft resonant X-ray diffraction, in which the X-rays suffer large attenuation due to absorption. In this work, an expression is derived for the X-ray diffraction profiles of reflections where the linear absorption is far greater than primary extinction; in other words, the crystal is superabsorbing. The case is considered of a parallel plate crystal, for which the diffraction profile of the superabsorbing crystal is computed as a function of crystal size normal to the diffraction planes. For thin crystals or those with negligible absorption, the diffraction profile of a superabsorbing crystal coincides with the result of the kinematical theory. For thick crystals, the absorption intrinsic profile is obtained, described by a Lorentzian function and characterized by the absorption intrinsic width. This absorption intrinsic width is proportional to the linear absorption coefficient and its expression is similar to that for the Darwin width, while the absorption intrinsic profile is a special case of the Laue dynamical theory, and it is similar to the Ornstein-Zernike Lorentzian. The formulation of X-ray diffraction of superabsorbing crystals is simple and provides new perspectives for the soft resonant X-ray diffraction technique.
