Figure 5
The first significant reflection of powdered nickel in traditional and inclined geometries for (a) the pixel intensity and (b) the structure function S(Q) of selected centerline traces as defined in Fig. 2. In both geometries, the incident beam flux is adjusted such that the most intense pixels in the first significant Debye–Scherrer ring are measured at 45 000 counts to avoid detector saturation. In the inclined geometry an advantageous trend is observed where the first significant reflection is broad in pixel space and sharp in Q space. The opposite disadvantageous trend is observed in the traditional geometry. |
