The Effects of Instrumental Distortion in X-Ray Diffraction Studies of Liquids. I. A Study of the Relative Effectiveness of Several Monochromatizing Techniques.

摘要

Some experimental and theoretical comparisons have been made of the effectiveness of four techniques which have been commonly used for monochromatizing X-radiation for use in diffraction studies of liquids: monochromator crystals, curved or flat; beta-filter and pulse-height analyzer; balanced dual filters. The beta-filter/pulse-height analyzer system alone results in unacceptable error, at both low and high s(s=4 eta per lambda sin theta). Dual filters can be made quite effective, actually approaching the resolution possible with monochromator crystals. (Author)
