Abstract

The availability of counter-tube diffractometers which can scan both sides of the direct beam makes it possible to locate the zero-angle position by comparing peak positions measured on either side of the beam. These diffractometers may thus be used to determine accurate lattice parameters without the need of a calibrating substance. The feasibility of this method is explored by determining the lattice parameters of pure silver, and the limits of accuracy are discussed.
