[Fig. 5 in Fewster (2014)]: (a) the scattering pattern from ∼120 crystals (or if perfectly packed 300 crystals) isolated with a 3.5 µm incident beam that perpendicularly intersects a 1 mm-wide single layer of crystals of LaB6 with sizes varying from 2 to 5 µm. (b) gives the profile with ∼30 crystallites or if perfectly packed 75 crystallites (3.5 µm × 0.25 mm sample size), where not all the reflections are clearly resolved as in the larger sample size. The data were collected with a 0.01° divergent Cu Kα1 beam from a 1.8 kW X-ray laboratory source in 35 min. The samples were stationary throughout, so the incident beam only explored one orientation from each crystal. The peaks are narrow and occur at the correct Bragg angles, and correspond to the interpretation where each crystal contributes intensity as in Fig. 1. |
