Vg. Harris et Wt. Elam, A MINIATURE TOTAL-ELECTRON-YIELD DETECTOR FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF X-RAY-ABSORPTION SPECTRA, Review of scientific instruments, 68(5), 1997, pp. 1972-1974
We have designed, built, and tested a total-electron-yield detector fo
r the collection of x-ray absorption spectra. The virtues of this dete
ctor are its compact size and simplicity of design, fabrication. assem
bly, and use. Sample exchange and realignment with respect to the inci
dent beam are easily performed. The design and performance of this det
ector are presented and discussed in comparison with other detection s
chemes.
