Figure 7
Plot of the difference between the calibrated X-ray energy and the nominal X-ray energy. The calibrated energies were determined using powder diffraction measurements performed on two standard powders, silicon and LaB6 (red error bars for specific points). Below 11 keV only the LaB6 powder diffraction patterns produced useful results. The known lattice parameter of the silicon standard and its ratio to the LaB6 standard were used to determine the energies of the beam. A linear interpolation was then applied to obtain all the energies at which the X-ray mass attenuation coefficients of silver were measured (dashed lines show one standard error upper and lower limits). |
