Title: Cubic crystals in an x-ray polarization-splitting geometry

Abstract

Hexagonal and cubic crystals contain paired sets of internal planes that reflect the linearly polarized components of certain x rays into two separate, perpendicular directions. For the cubic crystals, two distinct crystal orientations provide the same polarization-splitting geometry. One of the orientations may have advantages for plasma spectroscopy by suppressing unwanted reflections. This paper demonstrates the two orientations with a germanium crystal and K characteristic lines from copper and zirconium.

Figures / Tables:

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Basic polarization-splitting cubic crystal geometry. The origin of the cubic unit cell is at A. Incident x rays (black arrow) propagate in the -$\hat{x}$ direction. X-rays polarized along $\hat{y}$ reflect off polarizing plane 1 (red, CDEF) along $\hat{z}$ (red arrow) toward detector 1; those polarized along $\hat{z}$ reflectmore » off polarizing plane 2 (blue, CHEB) along $\hat{y}$ (blue arrow) toward detector 2. The threefold symmetry axis (magenta, CE) where the two polarization-splitting planes intersect is in the crystal surface (green, CVEU). The third plane CGEA in the threefold symmetry is normal to the surface.« less
