A direct (i.e. noniterative) method for desmearing the beam-height effect in small-angle X-ray scattering is discussed. The method is applicable to rectangular collimation systems with arbitrary beam-height intensity profiles. The process involves the construction of an upper-triangular matrix of terms containing the resolution information. A straightforward back-substitution process can then be used to determine the ideal pinhole-collimated curve for any experimental curve obtained with the given resolution. The principal advantage of the method lies in its simplicity, which facilitates an examination of the propagation of random errors through the desmearing process. A comparison between the direct method and the iterative approach of Glatter [J. Appl. Cryst. (1974), 7, 147–153] is made to illustrate the efficiency of the technique.

A simple relation has been established between the Fourier component of the probability density P(z) of photoelectron emission from different depths of a crystal and the angular dependence of the emission of photoelectrons formed in inclined X-ray Laue diffraction, which for the first time permitted the use of a direct method for the reconstruction of the P(z) function. Accurate measurements of the angular dependence of photoelectron emission were carried out on a silicon single crystal with diffraction of Cu Kα radiation for different energy ranges. Photoelectrons were recorded by a proportional gas counter specially designed for the energy analysis of photoelectrons under inclined Laue diffraction conditions. The laws predicted by the theory have been fully confirmed, and the corresponding P(z) functions have been obtained.

AbstractA scanning range over Bragg angles from −163 to +163° 2θ is obtained by combining a diffractometer capable of scanning both sides of the primary X-ray beam with a very short (3-in.) high-power focused X-ray tube. The ability to scan the included angle 4θ between respective diffraction profiles on either side of the primary beam over the entire range of Bragg angles, provides a direct method of eliminating errors caused by a displacement of the specimen surface from the axis of the goniometer. The method is demonstrated by determining the lattice parameters of standard specimens used in the I.U.Cr. Precision Lattice Parameter Project.

The crystal structure of a new hafnium oxyhydroxide obtained by an ion-exchange reaction from a Li2HfO3 precursor has been solved by a direct method and refined using Rietveld full profile fitting based on X-ray powder diffraction data. HfO(ОН)2 crystallizes in a P21/c monoclinic unit cell (a = 5.5578(5) Å, b = 9.0701(10) Å, c = 5.7174(5) Å, β = 119.746(5)°); its structure can be described as a framework formed by edge-sharing HfO6 octahedra connected to each other via vertices. In addition, an analysis of the atomic pair distribution function obtained using synchrotron radiation was used to confirm the model and to describe fine-structure features.

The new macrocyclic dithiocyanatocuprate(I) complex [NH4(18-crown-6){Cu(NCS)2}] has been prepared using a direct method of interaction and characterized by X-ray crystallography (orthorhombic, space group Cmc21, with a = 12.453(2), b = 21.650(4), c = 8.151(2) Å, V = 2197.6(8) Å3, Z = 4 , R1 (F) = 0.054; wR2(F2) = 0.141 for 972 unique reflections with I > 2σ(I) and R1(F) = 0.082; w/?2(F2) = 0.210 for all 1098 unique reflections). The lattice comprises complex cations [NH4(18-crown-6)]+ and infinite polymeric anions [Cu(NCS)2]- of a one-dimensional zig-zag structure. The copper atoms adopt three-fold coordination [CuN2S] (Cu-N 1,89( 1), 1,90( 1) Å; Cu-S 2.278(4) Å).

A direct method is described for determining depth profiles (z-profiles) of diffraction data from experimentally determined τ-profiles, where z is the depth beneath the sample surface and τ is the 1/e penetration depth of the X-ray beam. With certain assumptions, the relation between these two profile functions can be expressed in the form of a Laplace transform. The criteria for fitting experimental τ-data to functions which can be utilized by the method are described. The method was applied to two τ-data sets taken from the literature: (1) of residual strain in an A1 thin film and (2) of residual stress in a surface ground A12O3/5vol% TiC composite. For each data set, it was found that the z-profiles obtained were of two types: oscillatory and nonoscillatory. The nonoscillatory profiles appeared to be qualitatively consistent for a given data set. The oscillatory profiles were considered to be not physically realistic. For the data sets considered, the nonoscillatory z-profiles were found to lie consistently above the corresponding τ-profiles, and to approach the τ-profiles at large z, as expected from the relation between the two.
