A stress of a c-axis-oriented specimen of a tetragonal polycrystal is measured using X-ray diffraction under the assumption of a plane stress state. An X-ray optical system is set in the location of nullnull0null, 45null or 90null. An X-ray diffracted at a crystal plane (the direction of the normal thereto is the direction of an angle of null) with the Miller indices (hkl) is detected. A diffraction angle null in a strain state is measured in the vicinity of a Bragg's angle null0 in a non-strain state. Strains null with respect to a plurality of null are calculated from the difference between the measurement values null and the Bragg's angle null0. Specific stress calculation formulae are determined with respect to the tetragonal system having the Laue symmetry 4/mmm. The stress is calculated from the slope of the linear line of plotted measurement results.

In one embodiment, a portable apparatus adapted to be battery powered is used to scan an object in situ with x-rays and measure the intensity of the diffracted x-rays. The apparatus includes a scanning head having an x-ray source that is battery powered and an x-ray detector. The x-ray source and the x-ray detector are aligned in one of a plurality of predetermined alignments such that x-rays from the x-ray source are incident upon an object at a specific angle and the x-ray detector is aligned to detect x-rays that are diffracted at a specific angle, wherein the specific angle is a Bragg angle for a particular plane of atoms in the object.

An analyzer system to ease sample handling having a sample exchanger with an analyzer apparatus, a sample table, and a transfer unit for taking the sample from the table into the analyzer apparatus. The sample table includes a base and a tray for holding the samples supported so they tray can be pulled out in front of the base. With this, it is possible for an operator to handle the samples easily, in particular samples located deep on the table usually difficult to handle. The operator may pull out the tray in the front direction from the base, without having to stand. The tray may be separately carried to a computer controller of the analyzer apparatus, thereby enabling input of sample data while mounting or installing the samples onto the tray to prevent erroneous inputting.

An atomic coordinates generating method generating an atomic coordinate position within a rectangular parallelepiped as an outer frame of a crystal having a predetermined plane orientation derives a sphere circumscribing the rectangular parallelepiped, derives a cubic circumscribing the sphere, generates atomic coordinates within the cubic, provides rotation for the generated atomic coordinates for matching a bottom of the cubic with the plane orientation, checks whether the atomic coordinates after rotation are present within a rectangular parallelepiped having the predetermined plane orientation, and selects only coordinates present within the rectangular parallelepiped.

A method and device for examining the internal structure of an object uses diffracted X-rays or other penetrating radiation. In one embodiment, spatial filters proximate to a source of radiation transmit an array of divergent pixel-beams which irradiate an object being examined. The object absorbs, refracts, diffracts, and incoherently scatters radiation from the pixel-beams. Spatial filters proximate to a detector block undeflected and refracted radiation which exits the object. The detector separately measures diffracted radiation for each pixel-beam. For example, an integral of the diffracted intensity around a pixel-beam provides a pixel intensity in an image of the object. Alternatively, analyzing the intensity in a diffraction pattern around a pixel-beam can identify structures and materials within the object. A non-invasive procedure identifies abnormal tissue by measuring radiation diffracted at an angle characteristic of the diffraction pattern for abnormal tissue. In one embodiment of the invention, two spatial filters which form the pixel-beams have arrays of apertures with apertures in the first and second filters along lines from the source. This allow the pixel-beams to be divergent and increases the percentage of usable radiation from the source.

An X-ray diffractometer has an X-ray source for producing an X-ray beam; a position sensitive detector for detecting diffracted X-rays over a wide angle; and means for effecting controlled relative rotation between the detector and the X-ray source incident beam. A sample holder is capable of rotation about three mutually perpendicular axes and is also capable of providing rotation of the sample relative to the sample holder about two perpendicular axes. Thin films or substrates under investigation can be individually aligned into selected diffraction geometries by such a diffractometer. The X-ray source itself may be rotatable about the axis of the X-ray beam.

For position-sensitive measurements, an X-ray analysis system comprises a one-dimensional position-sensitive detector and a detection Soller slit system in order to achieve position sensitivity in a direction transversely of the dispersion direction of the detector. Different position-sensitive measurement methods can be carried out by adaptation of the Soller slit system and the orientation of the one-dimensional position-sensitive detector.

A combination of X-ray diffractometer and solid state detector is much faster than previous diffractometers and detectors in that X-ray photons that impinge on the detector do not have to be counted in the single photon counting mode.

An X-ray analysis apparatus including an artificial multi-layered grating for rendering X-ray beams to be monochromatic before they are incident on a specimen to be analyzed. This artificial multi-layered grating operates to diffract the X-ray beam, generated from an X-ray radiation source and subsequently impinging on a reflective surface of the artificial multi-layered grating, at a predetermined angle of diffraction to provide the monochromatic X-ray beams. The periodicity of the spacing of lattice planes of the artificial multi-layered grating is so chosen as to be of a value progressively varying along the reflective surface thereof with an increase in distance from the X-ray radiation source. The X-ray analysis apparatus herein disclosed is designed to avoid any possible reduction of the intensity of the X-ray beams which would occur when they are rendered to be monochromatic, and to increase the intensity of the X-ray beams to ensure an improved accuracy in spectroscopic analysis.
