Abstract:Diffracting crystals are extensively used at synchrotron beamlines as X-ray monochromators and phase retarders. Imperfect growth processes, surface damage occurring during fabrication, and strain caused by poor clamping methods can all degrade the quality of these crystals and the X-ray beams diffracted by them. Because X-ray topography of these crystals can reveal both the location and the magnitude of these defects, it is now regularly used as an acceptance test for diffracting crystal optics at the Diamond … Show more
