Abstract:Near-perfect diffracting crystals have many uses in x-ray optics including as monochromators, energy analyzers, and phase retarders. The usefulness of a particular Bragg reflection is often related to its angular acceptance and efficiency, as is determined by the reflection’s structure factor. Silicon crystals, which belong to the same face-centered cubic space group 𝐹𝑑3̅𝑚 as germanium and diamond, are readily available in large and highly pure ingots. Combined with their high thermal conductivity and low t… Show more
