摘要:
The present invention provides a novel method for identifying a molecular structure by a single crystal X-ray analysis. A single crystal that gives an X-ray diffraction spectrum sufficient for determining a structure of a molecule can be efficiently obtained by including a test molecule in a metal complex, and then crystallizing the test-molecule included in the metal complex. By analyzing this single crystal by an X-ray analysis, it is possible to determine a structure of the test molecule without obtaining a single crystal of the test molecule. With the novel method according to the present invention, the structure of a test molecule in a trace amount of a sample can also be determined.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing an X-ray diffraction measurement with a diffractometer having an X-ray beam directed at a sample and a two-dimensional X-ray detector includes the performance of a physical scan during which the detector is moved through a scanning range in an angular direction about the sample position. To provide a uniform exposure time, the detector, when located at an extreme of the scanning range, is controlled to progressively change the portion of the detected X-ray energy that is used at a rate that maintains a uniform exposure time for each angular position in the scanning range. Alternatively, when located at an extreme of the range, the detector is kept stationary until a desired minimum exposure time is obtained for each angular position, after which the collected diffraction data is normalized relative to exposure time.

Only X-rays having a specific wavelength out of focusing X-rays 2 diffracted from a sample S is reflected from a monochromator 60 based on a Bragg's condition, passed through a receiving slit 30 and detected by an X-ray detector 20. The monochromator 60 is configured to be freely removable, and arranged between the sample S and a focal point 2a at which the focusing X-rays 2 diffracted from the sample S are directly focused. At this time, the monochromator 60 is approached to the focal point 2a as closely as possible. The monochromator 60 comprises a multilayer mirror having an internal interplanar spacing which varies continuously from one end to the other end.

A portable X-ray diffraction apparatus is provided which can be held by a person and on which an image of a spot to be measured can be viewed. The portable X-ray diffraction apparatus includes: X-ray irradiation means that irradiates a sample with collimated X-rays; diffracted X-ray detection means that detects a collimated portion of diffracted X-rays among X-rays diffracted from the sample by the irradiation of the X-rays with the X-ray irradiation means; and signal processing means that processes a signal outputted from the diffracted X-ray detection means. An X-ray diffraction method is used which includes: irradiating a sample with collimated continuous-wavelength X-rays; extracting a collimated portion of diffracted X-rays diffracted from the sample irradiated with the X-rays and condensing the extracted collimated portion of the diffracted X-rays; detecting, using an energy dispersive detection element, the condensed diffracted X-rays; and processing a signal detected by the detection element.
