Abstract

A simple single-crystal goniostat has been built for the Norelco X-ray diffractometer using a modified eucentric goniometer head and the basic geometry of the Norelco pole-figure device.

The goniometer head was modified to provide interchangeable mounting tn the goniostat, a two-circle optical goniometer, or the sample holder of a flat-plate camera.

With this device one can orient and mount a. crystal along any desired direction in a fraction of the time required by conventional film techniques, thus reducing the mounting of a sample for intensity measure ment s for structure determinations or for measurements of anisotropic physical properties to a routine procedure.
