Abstract

The results of two crystal measurements of potassium acid phthalate crystal first order parallel position rocking curves, percent reflections, and reflection coefficients are presented. They cover the 4-24 Ǻ wavelength range and are typical of results with cleaved crystals illuminated over areas of one-half to two square inches. The energy resolution available with these crystals is shown to be nearly constant at about two-thirds of an electron volt over most of the energy range studied and the coefficient of reflection is also nearly constant at about 1 x 10-4 radians. A pronounced line-like reflectivity structure at 23.3 Ǻ is exhibited which is probably associated with oxygen atom K-shell absorption.
