Instrument And Method For X-Ray Diffraction, Fluorescence, And Crystal Texture Analysis Without Sample Preparation

US Patent:
2011000, Jan 13, 2011
Filed:
Aug 6, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/852317
Inventors:
KEITH GENDREAU - Greenbelt MD, US
Jose Vanderlei Martins - Greenbelt MD, US
Zaven Arzoumanian - Greenbelt MD, US
Assignee:
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE COUNTY - Baltimore MD
International Classification:
G01N 23/223
US Classification:
378 46
Abstract:
An X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence instrument for analyzing samples having no sample preparation includes a X-ray source configured to output a collimated X-ray beam comprising a continuum spectrum of X-rays to a predetermined coordinate and a photon-counting X-ray imaging spectrometer disposed to receive X-rays output from an unprepared sample disposed at the predetermined coordinate upon exposure of the unprepared sample to the collimated X-ray beam. The X-ray source and the photon-counting X-ray imaging spectrometer are arranged in a reflection geometry relative to the predetermined coordinate.
