The performance characteristics of a new synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction beamline (I11) at the Diamond Light Source are presented. Using an in-vacuum undulator for photon production and deploying simple x-ray optics centered around a double-crystal monochromator and a pair of harmonic rejection mirrors, a high brightness and low bandpass x-ray beam is delivered at the sample. To provide fast data collection, 45 Si(111) analyzing crystals and detectors are installed onto a large and high precision diffractometer. High resolution powder diffraction data from standard reference materials of Si, alpha-quartz, and LaB6 are used to characterize instrumental performance.
介绍了钻石光源上新的同步加速器X射线粉末衍射光束线(I11)的性能特征。利用真空中的波荡器产生光子,并采用以双晶单色仪和一对谐波抑制镜为核心的简单X射线光学元件,在样品处提供了高亮度和低带通的X射线束。为了实现快速数据采集,在一台大型高精度衍射仪上安装了45块Si(111)分析晶体和探测器。利用来自硅、α-石英和LaB6标准参考材料的高分辨率粉末衍射数据来表征仪器性能。
