Misalignment sensitivity of an inclined crystal monochromator
The sensitivity of a novel inclined crystal monochromator design to misalignments has been calculated, and compared to data. Rocking curve line narrowing as well as broadening can occur because the asymmetry factor of dynamical diffraction given by b=s{sub O}{center_dot}n/s{sub H}{center_dot}n can have an absolute value larger or smaller than unity. Here s{sub O}{center_dot}n and s{sub H}{center_dot}n are the direction cosines of the incident and diffracted beams, respectively, and n is the inward surface normal. An inclined double crystal monochromator which is perfectly aligned would have b = {minus}1 for both crystals, and only then would the diffraction by symmetric. We have computed b and rocking curve widths for inclination angles of 70.53{degree} and 85.00{degree}, and we compare the 70.53{degree} case to data for silicon {l_brace}111{r_brace} reflections using 8 KeV (CuK{alpha}{sub 1}) radiation. The 70.53{degree} case applies to (11{bar 1}) reflection from a (111) oriented crystal. We report that rotations around the reciprocal lattice vector have the expected effect on b.
