Inelastic X-ray scattering with 0.75 meV resolution at 25.7 keV using a temperature-gradient analyzer.

چکیده
The use of temperature-gradient analyzers for non-resonant high-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering is investigated. The gradient compensates for geometrical broadening of the energy resolution by adjusting the lattice spacing of the analyzer crystal. Applying a ∼ 12 mK temperature gradient across a 9.5 cm analyzer, resolutions of 0.75 (2) meV FWHM at 25.7 keV for Si(13 13 13) and 1.25(2) meV at 21.7 keV for Si(11 11 11) were measured, while retaining large (250 mm) clearance between the sample position and detector, and reasonable (9.3 mrad × 8.8 mrad) analyzer acceptance. The temperature control and stability are discussed.

Temperature gradient analyzers for compact high-resolution X-ray spectrometers
Compact high-resolution X-ray spectrometers with a one-dimensional temperature gradient at the analyzer crystal are considered. This gradient, combined with the use of a position-sensitive detector, makes it possible to relax the usual Rowland-circle condition, allowing increased space at the sample position for a given energy resolution or arm radius. Thus, for example, it is estimated that ap...
متن کاملHigh-quality quartz single crystals for high-energy-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering analyzers
Spherical analyzers are well known instruments for inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) experiments. High-resolution IXS experiments almost always use Si single crystals as monochromators and spherical analyzers. At higher energies (>20 keV) Si shows a high energy resolution (<10 meV), at an exact symmetric back-diffraction condition, since the energy resolution is given by the real part of the sus...
متن کاملSapphire analyzers for high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy
We present a sapphire ðAl2O3Þ analyzer for high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with 31-meV energy resolution. The analyzer is designed for resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements at the CuKa absorption edge near 8990 eV. The performance of the analyzer is demonstrated by measuring phonon excitations in beryllium because of its known dynamical structure and high counting rates. r ...
متن کاملSearch for orbitons in LaMnO3, YTiO3 and KCuF3 using high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering
Orbital excitations have been sought in three systems, LaMnO3, KCuF3 andYTiO3, using high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering, with an energy resolution of 6 meV. Motivated by the recent Raman scattering result of Saitoh et al (2001 Nature 410 180), we measured the energy transfer spectra of LaMnO3 in the energy range up to 200 meV. We did not find any signal above background that could be as...
متن کاملUltrahigh-Energy-Resolution Inelastic X-Ray Scattering
Very-high-energy-resolution measurements using X-rays can be achieved by extreme backreflection (Bragg angle close to 90°) f rom perfect crystals. This technique allowed the development of the instrument INELAX for inelastic scattering experiments at the HARWI wiggler at DORIS, DESY Hamburg. Recently, a high energy resolution of 9 meV could be achieved, and the instrument proved to be an excell...
