Conversion of a double crystal diffractometer to a high resolution triple crystal diffractometer

R. J. Matyi

Abstract

The conversion of a commercial double crystal x-ray diffractometer to a flexible, high-resolution triple crystal diffractometer is described. This conversion, which has been accomplished at low cost, greatly enhances the flexibility of a double crystal diffractometer for the characterization of both highly perfect and relatively imperfect bulk single crystals and epitaxial layers. The conversion is easily reversible, thus allowing a single double crystal diffractometer to operate in either a double crystal or triple crystal mode. Specific examples of the capabilities of this instrument are presented.
