Elimination of Incoherent X Rays with Diffracted Beam Monochromators

Abstract
Bent and ground LiF crystal monochromators, placed after the specimen in x‐ray diffraction experiments can remove nearly all of the incoherent (Compton) component with Cu Kα or longer wavelengths and greatly reduce the incoherent component with shorter radiations. Efficiencies of 20 to 25% are readily attainable, allowing high geometrical resolution diffuse intensity analyses with specimens of low atomic number.
