Abstract

A Debye-Scherrer camera (radius 572 mm) was designed for the use at the Photon Factory BL-6A2. It uses 4 pieces of the Imaging Plate to cover 0° ∼ 160° in 2θ. The profiles measured by the camera had 0.083° full width at half maximum (FWHM) and were rather symmetric compared with conventional X-ray source. The observed profiles were well represented by either the split Pearson VII or pseudo-Voigt function. In order to examine the performance of the new camera, the whole powder data of LiF was analyzed by the Maximum Entropy Method(MEM). The MEM analysis of LiF was successfully accomplished using 20 measured structure factors and gave R(Bragg) 0.25%. The density distribution obtained represented a characteristic feature of ionic crystals and was consistent with the theoretical result of the self-consistent LCAO method.
