A. Gibaud et al., A HIGH-ENERGY MONOCHROMATIC LAUE (MONOLAUE) X-RAY DIFFUSE-SCATTERING STUDY OF KMNF3 USING AN IMAGE PLATE, Journal of applied crystallography, 30, 1997, pp. 16-20
The technique of high-energy monochromatic Laue X-ray scattering using
image plates to record the diffraction patterns is presented. A tunab
le wiggler beamline is used as an X-ray source. It is shown that such
experimental conditions present many advantages over conventional tube
sources and photographic films. A study of diffuse scattering in the
perovskite compound KMnF3 is presented to illustrate this in a qualita
tive way.
