The graphite curved crystal monochromator is installed in front of the X-ray detector, which monochromatizes the X-rays passing through the receiving slit and only detects the K α characteristic X-ray diffractometer accessories of the X-ray spectrum. By using this device, continuous X-rays, K β characteristic X-rays, and fluorescent X-rays can be completely eliminated, enabling high signal-to-noise ratio X-ray diffraction analysis. When copper target X-ray tubes are used in conjunction with corresponding monochromators, fluorescent X-rays generated from Mn, Fe, Co, Ni based samples can be eliminated, making them suitable for analysis of various samples.
The Graphite curved crystal monochromator is an important instrument accessory for X-ray diffraction analysis, mainly used to monochromatize the X-rays passing through the receiving slit, thereby improving the accuracy and signal-to-noise ratio of analysis. This monochromator utilizes the specific structure of graphite crystals to selectively reflect incident X-rays, allowing only X-rays of specific wavelengths (usually Kαcharacteristic X-rays) to pass through while filtering out other unwanted X-ray components such as continuous X-rays, Kβcharacteristic X-rays, and fluorescent X-rays. This selective reflection is based on Bragg's law, which states that when the angle between the incident light and the crystal plane satisfies certain conditions, coherent scattering occurs, forming diffraction peaks.When using this monochromator, attention should be paid to the preparation and placement of the sample to ensure the accuracy and symmetry of the diffraction peaks. Graphite curved crystal monochromator are widely used in materials research fields such as chemistry, chemical engineering, machinery, geology, minerals, metallurgy, building materials, ceramics, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. In these fields, it is used for X-ray diffraction analysis to study the physical properties of materials such as crystal structure, phase transition, stress state, etc.X-ray diffractometer accessories significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of analysis by increasing the peak to background ratio and reducing background noise.
