Abstract

Position sensitive proportional counters (PSPCs) increase the scope of X-ray diffraction analyses. High pressure flow through type PSPCs can significantly reduce data collecting times due to She ability for simultaneous data collection over large two-theta ranges. This inherent characteristic allows the diffraction user broad capabilities such as scanning very rapidly over large two- theta ranges or collecting data in real time over shorter two-theta ranges without scanning. Thus, we have been able to perform detailed high- temperature experiments in relatively short time frames, observe phase transitions and reactions as they occur, and perform unusual experiments such as observing the crystallization of a plasma spray in-situ.
