The highly-collimated, intense X-rays produced by a synchrotron radiation source can be harnessed to build high-resolution powder diffraction instruments with a wide variety of applications. The general advantages of using synchrotron radiation for powder diffraction are discussed and illustrated with reference to the structural characterisation of crystalline materials, atomic PDF analysis, in-situ and high-throughput studies where the structure is evolving between successive scans, and the measurement of residual strain in engineering components.

In a powder diffraction pattern one measures the intensity of Miller-indexed Bragg peaksversusthe wavevector transfer sinθ/λ. With increasing wavevector transfer the density of occurrence of Bragg peaks increases while their intensity decreases until they vanish into the background level. The lowest possible background level is that due to Compton scattering from the powder. A powder diffraction instrument has been designed and tested that yields this ideal low-background level, obtainable by having the space between sample and detector all in vacuum with the entrance window so far upstream that scattering from it is negligible. To minimize overlap of Bragg peaks the combination of fine collimation of synchrotron radiation, a thin cylindrical sample and a high-resolution imaging plate detector is taken advantage of.
