(a) Origin of specimen-related aberrations in focusing plane of conventional reflection specimen diffractometer (Fig. 2.3.1.3)[link]. A no aberration from curved specimen; B flat specimen; C specimen displacement from 0. (b) Computed angular shifts caused by specimen displacement, R = 185 mm. (c) Flat-specimen asymmetric aberration, Si(422), Cu Kα1, Kα2 peak intensities normalized. (d) Computed flat-specimen centroid shifts for various apertures; parabola for constant irradiated 2 cm specimen length. (e) Transparency asymmetric aberration, LiF(200) powder reflection, Cu , peak intensities normalized, thin specimen (solid-line profile) 0.1 mm thick; thick specimen (dotted-line profile) 1.0 mm, αES 1°, αRS 0.046°. (f) Computed transparency centroid shifts for various values of linear absorption coefficient.
