High-energy-resolution X-ray monochromator calibration using the detailed-balance principle

Abstract: A new method is presented to calibrate an X-ray energy scale with sub-meV relative accuracy by using the detailed-balance principle of the phonon creation and annihilation. This method is conveniently used to define or verify the energy scale of high-energy-resolution monochromators that are used in inelastic X-ray scattering and nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering instruments at synchrotron radiation facilities. This method does not rely on sample properties and its precision only depends on the stati… Show more

“…Omitting the higher-order corrections (Zhao & Sturhahn, 2012), the real energy position can be calculated with E real = (KE obs +ÁE), where E real stands for the real energy, E obs stands for the observed energy, ÁE is the energy position drift and K is the energy scale. The energy calibration thus includes: (i) aligning the nuclear resonant peak to E = 0 to correct for ÁE; (ii) rescaling the energy axis to obtain the correct K value.…”

“…The energy of the high-resolution monochromator (HRM) used for NRVS can be scanned (or altered involuntarily) by changing: (i) the relative scattering angles among the HRM crystals; and/or (ii) the temperature of one back-reflection crystal (Zhao & Sturhahn, 2012). The accuracy for the energy scale therefore relies on the high-precision measurements (and controls) on the angle, the temperature, as well as the thermal gradients for the HRM crystals.…”
