X-Ray Diffraction of Radioactive Materials*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
X-ray diffraction studies on radioactive materials are reviewed. Considerable emphasis is placed on the safe handling and loading of not-too-exotic samples. Special considerations such as the problems of film blackening by the gamma rays and changes induced by the self-irradiation of the sample are covered. Some modifications of common diffraction techniques are presented. Finally, diffraction studies on radioactive samples under extreme conditions are discussed, with primary emphasis on high-pressure studies involving diamond-anvil cells.
