X-ray diffraction Need X-rays Brehmsstrahlung = white radiation Characteristic X-rays Wavelenght CuK 1 = Å MoK 1 = Å CuK 1 = Å CuK 2 = Å CuK = Å I(CuK 1 ) = 2·I(CuK 2 )
Need sample Single crystal Powder
Need experimental setup Diffractometer Bragg-Brentano geometry (Primary monochromator) (Secondary monochromator)
Want monochromatic radiation Brehmsstrahlung = white radiation Characteristic X-rays Monochromators: Many possibilities
Euclid, The Elements (300 B.C.) Proposition 21, Book III: The angles in the same segment of a circle are equal to another Johansson monochromator
Bragg-Brentano geometry The source S can be:
Need detector … Need some slits … S Sample Fixed slits: Smaler area at high angle Smaller area at high angles Variable slits: Same area at all angles
The experiment Got some crystals Want a powder Gets lot of small crystals
Want powder Random orientation
The result The diffractogram Quartz (Don’t call it spectrum)
