Figure 5
The geometry of a monochromatic beam energy scan is shown in (a). Changing energy from low (λstart) to high (λend) changes the length of the reciprocal-space vector q. In this experiment, the Au Bragg peak in the center of the detector in Fig. 3 was scanned with a monochromator in 2 eV energy steps such that a volume of reciprocal space [gray parallelogram in (a)] was finely sampled. The resulting diffraction was interpolated onto a regular reciprocal-space grid, and two cuts are shown along the (qz,qy) plane (b) as well as the (qz,qx) plane (c) through the center of the Bragg peak. |
