Tubes current

To verify the modelling of the data eolleetion process, calculations of SAT 4, in the entrance window of the XRII was compared to measurements of RNR p oj in stored data as function of tube potential. The images object was a steel cylinder 5-mm) with a glass rod 1-mm) as defect. X-ray spectra were filtered with 0.6-mm copper. Tube current and exposure time were varied so that the signal beside the object. So, was kept constant for all tube potentials. Figure 8 shows measured and simulated SNR oproj, where both point out 100 kV as the tube potential that gives a maximum. Due to overestimation of the noise in calculations the maximum in the simulated values are normalised to the maximum in the measured values. Once the model was verified it was used to calculate optimal choice of filter materials and tube potentials, see figure 9. 

The MCB tubes currently available cover the range up to 65kV of radiation energy and up to 50 W of maximum anode load. 

For water, organic and water-organic metal salts mixtures the dependence of integral and spectral intensities of coherent and non-coherent scattered radiation on the atomic number (Z), density, oscillator layer thickness, chemical composition, and the conditions of the registering of analytical signals (voltage and tube current, tube anode material, crystal-analyzer) was investigated. The dependence obtained was compared to that for the solid probes (metals, alloys, pressed powder probes). 

Fig. 1-2. Schematic diagram of the Coolidge (high-vacuum) x-ray tube. Coolidge tubes are widely used because they are stable and long-lived and permit tube current and voltage to be controlled independently.

The tube-current stabilizer is usually put in the grounded return output circuit of the high-voltage transformer. The stabilizer functions by properly adjusting the a-c heating current through the filament (x-ray tube cathode), and in this way regulating the electron emission.

Fig. 3-13. The Power Density Spectrum of Vacuum Tube Current.

Except for the impulse at the origin representing d.c. power and arising from the fact that the vacuum tube current has a nonzero mean value. We shall neglect this mean value m the following discussion, and concentrate only on the time-varying part of the noise. 

XRD patterns were recorded with a Rigaku Rotalflex (RU-200B) X-ray diffractometer using Cu Ka radiation with a Ni filter. The tube current was 100 mA with a tube voltage of 40 kV. The 20 angular regions between 15 and 85° were explored at a scan rate of 5° min . The Pt (220) peak (64 to 72°) was scanned at 1° min to obtain... 

Shaping of the cathode and hooded anode to minimize focal spot size is a speciahzed art. Apparent focal spots of 1 mm (as viewed from the detectors) are typical for baggage systems. Tube currents are commonly in the range of...

The total numbers give 0.497 as the weighted mean value of the degree of polarization, assuming it to be sensibly the same for all of the experiments under the various conditions of tube current, density of mercury vapor, etc. 

The first detectors to be used in OMA systems were standard TV image tubes. These were silicon vidicons or the more sensitive Silicon Intensified Target (SIT) detectors, which both employed silicon targets to convert optical information into electronic form. More recently, the use of solid state detectors in the form of a diode array (Reticon) has been found to have some advantages over the vidicons and SIT tubes. Current developments in the field of charge coupled devices (CCD) will probably soon provide an even better multielement detector for use in OMA systems. 

Making the X-ray Exposure. This should be done under the constant supervision of a qualified person detailed instmctions caimot be given here. Be very careful to avoid any x-ray exposure to any part of the body make sure that all x-ray ports are covered when the unit is in operation. The optimum exposure time depends on the composition and size of the specimen, the tube current and operating potential, and the... 

To examine the nanowires by X-ray diffraction (XRD) while they are still embedded in the membrane, tape the membrane to a glass microscope slide with the Ni deposition side facing upward. To examine a sample of liberated nanowires, suspend the nanowires in ethanol and place a few drops on a microscope slide. After the solvent evaporates, add a few more drops and repeat this process until there is a visible pile of nanowires on the slide. Our patterns were obtained using a Scintag PADV powder X-ray diffractometer with Cu K-a radiation, a tube voltage of 40 kV and a tube current of 35 mA. 

The emission characteristics of a particular lamp are dependent on tube current, mercury pressure, phosphor composition, phosphor coating procedure, tube composition, and the frequency of the ballast used. Since these lamps are produced for a very competitive commercial market, much of the production information is considered proprietary and not published. Changes can be made, sometimes without the knowledge of customers. 

The second parameter, i.e. the tube current, should be selected as high as possible without exceeding the allowable power rating of either the tube or generator, since the intensity of the characteristic radiation in the incident beam is proportional to the tube current. Finally, the standard lifetime of most x-ray tubes (several thousand hours) can be extended considerably if the tube is operated at 75% or less of its rated power. ... 

The intensity of any characteristic line, spectrum, depends both on the tube current i and the amount by which the applied voltage V exceeds the critical excitation voltage for that line. For a K line, the intensity is given approximately by... 

All x-ray tubes have a maximum power rating which cannot be exceeded without injury to the tube. This limit is fixed by the amount of heat that can be dissipated by the target and is usually stated by the manufacturer in terms of the maximum allowable tube current (in mA) for a given tube voltage (in kV). 

Such tubes have been made experimentally [1.9, l.IO] and commercially [1.11]. They are small, only about 4 to 8 in. (10 to 20 cm) in length, and operate typically at a voltage of about 50 kV and a tube current of the order of 1 mA, as compared to 10 mA or more in conventional tubes. 

There is a fundamental difference between the operation of a powder camera and a diffractometer. In a camera, all diffraction lines are recorded simultaneously, and variations in the intensity of the incident x-ray beam during the exposure can have no effect on relative line intensities. On the other hand, with a diffractometer, diffraction lines are recorded one after the other, and it is therefore imperative to keep the incident-beam intensity constant when relative line intensities must be measured accurately. Since the usual variations in line voltage are quite appreciable, the x-ray tube circuit of a diffractometer must include a voltage stabilizer and a tube-current stabilizer. 

On the credit side, the absence of a collimator and crystal means that an x-ray tube of low power, perhaps air-cooled rather than water-cooled, can be used to excite the sample. The required tube current is less than a milliampere, compared to tens of milliamperes in a crystal-spectrometer tube. In fact, it is the low power requirement for this application that has provided the main impetus behind the development of the miniature tubes described in Sec. 1-7.
