If we have three equal path lengths of an x-ray beam through three different types of tissue, muscle, bone and blood, that are the same depths, the emergent beam(given that the entry beam to all tissues is of equal intensity) from bone will be attenuated to a greater extent than the beam through either muscle or through blood.

Record 5 2009-11-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Physics
CONT

Neutron reflectometry is a laboratory technique, similar to the often complementary techniques of X-ray reflectivity and ellipsometry. The technique involves shining a highly collimated beam of neutrons onto an extremely flat surface and examining the intensity of reflected radiation as a function of angle.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique nucléaire
CONT

Il est important de caractériser la structure atomique et magnétique [des] couches [magnétiques]. La réflectométrie neutronique est un outil particulièrement puissant : en effet la polarisation d'un faisceau de neutrons polarisés va être modifiée par la réflexion par les couches magnétiques. Un analyseur de la polarisation après réflexion va permettre de déterminer les courbes de réflectivité pour des états de spin parallèles ou antiparallèles.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Physics of Solids
  • Electromagnetic Radiation
DEF

A peak in the scattering pattern in X-ray diffraction of a crystal.

OBS

The intensity of Bragg peaks is proportional to the square of the number of the scatterers. If X-ray scattering from a solid produces Bragg peaks this indicates that the solid has long-range order.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique des solides
  • Rayonnements électromagnétiques
CONT

En résumé, lorsqu'un rayonnement (neutrons ou rayons X) interagit avec une poudre ou un polycristal la diffusion se produit sous forme de pics (de Bragg) dont la position angulaire est caractéristique de la géométrie de la maille cristalline élémentaire et dont l'intensité dépend de la nature et de la répartition des atomes dans cette maille (le motif).

Record 7 2005-09-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Photoelectricity and Electron Optics
OBS

In X-ray topography, a crystal is illuminated using a highly parallel monochromatic X-ray beam and the diffraction pattern is recorded using fine-grain film placed very close to the crystal. Under these illumination conditions, the diffraction from different points in the crystal is spatially resolved at the film, and the diffraction spots provide images of the crystal. Image contrast results from variations in the diffracted intensity due to variations in lattice orientation and spacing associated with crystal defects and strains. X-ray topography probes bulk crystal perfection with a spatial resolution of a few micrometers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Photo-électricité et optique électronique
DEF

Méthode de visualisation des défauts d'ordre dans les cristaux, grâce aux perturbations qu'ils induisent sur les figures de diffraction des rayons X.

CONT

Le mot «topographie» rappelle la cartographie et la représentation symbolique des défauts de planéité du terrain.

OBS

note linguistique : Ce terme devrait être caractérisé (Ex. : topographie des cristaux) pour éviter de le confondre avec la notion de topographie dans le domaine de la cartographie.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiological Physics (Theory and Application)
  • Mineralogy
CONT

X-ray powder diffraction is used in the identification of crystalline phases in unknown samples, finding the lattice parameter and other lattice related information, quantitative determination of phases in multiphase samples, finding the orientation in single crystals, and stereographic projections. The samples must be crystalline solids such as metals, ceramics, rocks etc. These samples are usually about 1 mg in size. If the sample fits in the sample holder then there is no preparation necessary otherwise the sample may have to be crushed in order to fit. The sample takes less than one hour to be analyzed for qualitative analysis in major phases and up to 16 hours for trace phases. The quantitative analysis can take several minutes to several hours after set up. There are several detectors used in XRPD varying from films to cameras to diffractometers.

CONT

Powder X-Ray Diffraction. Powders of crystalline materials diffract X-Rays. A beam of X-rays passing through a sample of randomly-oriented micro-crystals produces a pattern of rings on a distant screen. Powder X-Ray diffraction provides less information than single-crystal diffraction, however, it is much simpler and faster. Powder X-Ray diffraction is useful for confirming the identity of a solid material and determining crystallinity and phase purity. Modern powder X-Ray diffractometers consist of an X-Ray source, a movable sample platform, an X-Ray detector, and associated computer-controlled electronics. The sample is either packed into a shallow cup-shaped holder or deposited as a slurry onto a quartz substrate, and the sample holder spins slowly during the experiment to reduce sample heating. The X-Ray source is usually the same as used in single-crystal diffractometers, Mo or Cu. The X-Ray beam is fixed and the sample platform rotates with respect to the beam by an angle theta. The detector rotates at twice the rate of the sample and is at an angle of 2 theta with respect to the incoming X-Ray beam.

CONT

Fine particles such as clays must be separated from larger particles and measured separately if they are to be detected properly. To reduce errors associated with preferred orientation of minerals, samples are most commonly ground to a powder before analysis, a technique known as powder X-ray diffraction.

CONT

X-ray powder diffraction(XRD) is a direct method for qualitative and quantitative characterization of fine-grained materials such as clinker and cement, and may also be used for analysis of raw materials. Each phase produces a unique diffraction pattern independent of others, with the intensity of each pattern proportional to that phases concentration in a mixture.

Record 9 1998-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
OBS

Essentially all X-ray measurements are made by photon counting techniques but the results are seldom converted to radiant flux or irradiance or radiant exposure. The term photon flux would be appropriate if the measurements were corrected for detector efficiency but this is seldom done for X-ray chemical analysis. Therefore the term X-ray intensity, is commonly used and expressed as photons/unit time detected.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
OBS

Essentiellement, toutes les mesures de rayonnements x sont faites au moyen de techniques de comptage des photons; toutefois, les résultats sont rarement convertis en flux de radiation ou en irradiance ou en exposition à la radiation. L'expression «flux photonique» serait appropriée si les mesures étaient corrigées pour l'efficacité du détecteur, mais ceci est rarement fait pour l'analyse chimique des rayonnements x. On utilise donc couramment l'expression «intensité des rayons x», et cette intensité est exprimée en photons détectés par unité de temps.

Subject field(s)
  • Radiography (Medicine)
CONT

Phototimers contain a fluorescent material which emits light when exposed to the x-ray beam. The light is directed toward a photocathode which emits electrons when struck by light. The number of electrons emitted is proportional to the brightness of the light which in turn is proportional to the x-ray intensity striking the fluorescent screen. This flow of electrons is amplified in a photomultiplier and... automatically terminates the exposure when a predetermined exposure has been reached.
