Abstract
A high-resolution powder diffraction station with synchroton radiation has been created. The diffractometer was developed on the basis of tw o Microcontrol precision goniometers. The latter provide the independe nt movement of a specimen and a detector with a minimal step of 2theta = 0.001-degree. Using the Si(111) crystal as the analyzer, we obtaine d half widths of the (212), (203), and (301) reflections for alpha-SiO 2 (0.02-0.025-degrees 2theta). The device was tested using alpha-Al2O3 as the standard.
