Abstract:
The rotated-inclined double-crystal monochromator (RIDCM) has been adopted to reduce the heat load from third-generation undulator radiation. The position of the exit X-rays from RIDCM has been calculated as a function of X-ray energy on the basis of diffraction theory including refraction effects. The results show that the positions of the exit X-rays vary over a wide range due to asymmetric reflection. Methods of fixing the exit position in RIDCM are also discussed.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
