X-ray powder diffractometer
X-ray powder diffractometer radiation counter
Powder diffractometer (see Jenkins & Snyder, chap. 7) Bragg-Brentano geometry
X-ray powder diffractometer To maintain the focusing geometry, when counter is rotated at rate of 2/min, specimen is also rotated at rate of /min /min /min
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument - errors (see Klug & Alexander) Axial divergence - axis, here, is main rotation axis - asymmetric broadening toward low 2 - negative 2 error up to 90° - positive 2 error beyond 90°
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument - errors (see Klug & Alexander) Axial divergence - axis, here, is main rotation axis
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument - errors (see Klug & Alexander) Axial divergence - axis, here is main rotation axis each section of Soller slit produces its own Debye ring from a specific region in the specimen divergence angle typically ±2.5°
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument - errors (see Klug & Alexander) Axial divergence - axis, here is main rotation axis each section of Soller slit produces its own Debye ring from a specific region in the specimen divergence angle typically ±2.5°
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument - errors (see Klug & Alexander) Flat specimen peak shifts to lower 2 & asymmetric broadening depends on beam divergence & 2, plus specimen shape
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument - errors (see Klug & Alexander) Specimen transparency
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument - errors (see Klug & Alexander) Specimen displacement Usually largest error in expt'l data Neg. peak shift - ~0.01° 2/15displacement Asymmetric broadening toward lower 2
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument Divergence slit choice
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument Divergence slit choice Or, theta-compensating slit - divergence slit opens as theta increases
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument Receiving slit choice
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument Receiving slit choice lowers intensity - little improvement in resolution poor resolution - little improvement in intensity
Powder diffractometer Bragg-Brentano instrument Receiving slit choice correct slit size ~0.15°
