Abstract

The objective of this study was to measure the peak broadening inherent in chi (x) tilting and compare that to a geometrical model. The (012) and (300) reflections from a Al2O3 plate (NIST SRM 1976) were each scanned every 100 from -700 to +700x (15 lilts/reflection) to examine the influence of a low and high 2θ, respectively. The absorption correction was not taken into account. The equation y=2m1| tan x | cosθ+m2 fits well the data from both low and high 2θ except the point x =0. The extended equation y=m1cosh(m2tan x cosθ) fits well with all the experimental points.
