A secondary graphite crystal spectrometer for anomalous X-ray diffraction experiments

A new design for implementation of anomalous X-ray diffraction experiments is proposed. The exploitation of a graphite crystal spectrometer with good energy resolution in combination with an acceptable counting rate opens new possibilities to carry out AWAXS experiments and calculate partial structu re functions. The proof of this measurement principle is demonstrated by pr esentation of the partial structure factor and radial distribution function for rubidium germanate glasses around the germanium component.
