Abstract

This manuscript discusses two different powder diffraction methods which possess high resolution, low background and very high counting rates. Both methods utilize analyzer crystals in combination with position sensitive detectors. The first method uses a curved perfect crystal analyzer diffracting in the scattering plane to diffract a range of angles into the position sensitive detector. The second method is somewhat simpler, it uses a graphite analyzer crystal diffracting out of the scattering plane. Applications of these methods to anomalous scattering from both powder and amorphous materials are also discussed. One of the techniques should also be very useful for small angle scattering.
