We study the processes of dynamical diffraction of the plane X-ray waves on the graphene film/SiC substrate system in the case of the Bragg diffraction geometry. The statistical dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction in imperfect crystals is applied to the case of real quasi-two-dimensional systems. The necessity of the taking into account of the variability of the lattice parameter of multilayer graphene, as well as the influence of thickness on the thermal Debye-Waller factor at the calculation of the complex structural factors and Fourier components of polarizability, is demonstrated. It is shown that the change of the structural characteristics of the 3-layer graphene/substrate system, as well as its strained state, leads to a significant change in the diffraction profiles, which makes it possible to determine the characteristics by the X-ray diffraction method.
