Comparison of X-Ray Wavelengths for Powder Diffractometry

Abstract
Comparative diffractometer measurements were made with several radiations and a NaI · Tl scintillation counter with pulse-height discrimination. Figures of merit for the different wavelengths based on intensity and peak-to-background ratio of a silicon powder specimen were: CuKα 100, MoKα 32, CrKα 10, and WLα 6. Several factors contributing to the figure of merit are discussed.
