Abstract
AbstractIn wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) experiments, the use of a one-dimensional arc detector can effectively expand the angle range of collected diffraction or scattering signals. In practice, the relative positions between the centers of arc detector, sample and beam spot may overlap or misalign. Therefore, it is necessary to calibrate the instrument parameters and detection angle of the arc detector. The calibration is routinely performed by standard samples. In this contribution, the equations for angle calibration and error evaluation are constructed based on three standard diffraction peaks, and the corresponding simulation and experiment are performed to verify the feasibility of the calibration. The results indicate that the larger the coverage and the more uniform the dispersion of the three standard diffraction peaks distributed on the detector, the smaller the calibration error.Keywords: Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS)one-dimensional arc detectorangle calibration AcknowledgementThe authors thank Zhonghua Wu, Zhongjun Chen, Zhan Shi, Xueqing Xing, Lei Yao and Hao Wang for their help with the WAXS experiments.Disclosure statementNo conflicts of interest are reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Key R & D Program of China [grant number 2017YFA0403000], the National Natural Science Foundation of China [grants number U1910206, 22278295, 22378291 and U1910201] and the Key R & D projects in Shanxi Province [grant number 202102090301002], and the National Key Laboratory of High Efficiency and Low Carbon Utilization of Coal [grants number J23-24-612].
期刊介绍:
Instrumentation Science & Technology is an internationally acclaimed forum for fast publication of critical, peer reviewed manuscripts dealing with innovative instrument design and applications in chemistry, physics biotechnology and environmental science. Particular attention is given to state-of-the-art developments and their rapid communication to the scientific community.
Emphasis is on modern instrumental concepts, though not exclusively, including detectors, sensors, data acquisition and processing, instrument control, chromatography, electrochemistry, spectroscopy of all types, electrophoresis, radiometry, relaxation methods, thermal analysis, physical property measurements, surface physics, membrane technology, microcomputer design, chip-based processes, and more.
Readership includes everyone who uses instrumental techniques to conduct their research and development. They are chemists (organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, nuclear, quality control) biochemists, biotechnologists, engineers, and physicists in all of the instrumental disciplines mentioned above, in both the laboratory and chemical production environments. The journal is an important resource of instrument design and applications data.
