Abstract

Diffracted intensities from an X-ray diffractometer operating with fixed or variable divergence slits were compared, following a reported systematic deviation from the theoretical 1/sinθ intensity ratio between these two slit configurations. The theoretical relationship was found to hold over a wide 2θ range provided the anti-scatter slit did not obstruct the beam at higher diffraction angles as the variable slit increased beam divergence. Such obstruction was found to be a possible explanation for the reported deviation.
