Abstract

The diffractometer employs dual fixed detectors and a moving, vertically mounted X-ray tube. Lattice strain is measured in two specimen directions simultaneously. The drive has three concentric shafts; the outer driven by a cone drive worm and gear; a middle fixed shaft supporting the detectors and an inner shaft geared in a 1:2 ratio carrying the specimen mount. Scanning angles are measured to an accuracy of ±0.001°. A large range of specimen sizes can be accommodated.
