X-ray energy spectrum for the (a) aluminium and (b) NiTi specimens. The aluminium tests used an undulator gap of 30 mm, and the first harmonics become of most interest. The NiTi samples used an undulator gap of 20 mm, which yields X-rays with much higher flux. In efforts to mitigate this sample absorption effect, a single-crystal Si wafer (1 mm thickness) was placed upstream of the X-ray path to filter out the low-energy photons. |
