METALLIC AND NONMETALLIC X-RAY MONOCHROMATORS FOR SYNCHROTRON SOURCES

Individual monochromators using different materials have been develope d to achieve maximum exploitation of the beam qualities of modern sync hrotron facilities. Low absorbing materials have superior properties o f reflectivity. These materials can also solve the enormous heat load problem of the high power X-ray beams of third generation storage ring s. Use of mosaic crystals and tailored defect structures offer novel p ossibilities of reflectivity as well as energy resolution control.
