An. Shmakov et al., HIGH-RESOLUTION DIFFRACTOMETER FOR STRUCTURAL STUDIES OF POLYCRYSTALLINE MATERIALS, Journal of structural chemistry, 35(2), 1994, pp. 224-228
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.
