X-rays filters

To obtain monochromatic Ka, a filter system is necessary to filter out the continuous X-rays and other characteristic X-rays, which are not generated with Ka from the X-ray tube. X-ray filters can be made from material that strongly absorbs X-rays other than Ka. Generally, materials exhibit various abilities to absorb X-rays. X-ray absorption by materials is a function of the linear absorption coefficient (fi) and mass density (p). The X-ray intensity (/) passing through an absorption layer with thickness x is expressed by the following equation. 

Figure 2.10 shows the X-ray optics when a post-sample graphite monochromator is employed. This is perhaps the most common arrangement. The X-ray filter is no longer necessary. Again slits are used to control the divergence of the incident and diffracted beam. With this setup, the source is normally fixed and the monochromator moved around the 26 circle with the detector arm.

The Debye - Scherrer uses X-ray filtering to reduce the Kp and continuum components of the spectrum with respect to the peak. This is a poor man s monochromator, and is best suited to low resolution work. In Fig. 4 the absorption characteristics of nickel have been plotted over the radiation spectrum for copper at 35 kV. The sharp rise in absorption with increasing photon energy is due to X-ray absorption in the K-shell of nickel. To install such a monochromator the correct thickness of filter has to be used in order to reduce Kp to negligible values without reducing Ko( by too much. For the nickel filter a suitable thickness is 17 i.m, giving 98.4% absorption of the Kp peak, while reducing K by 50%. 

In XAS measurement, multiple spectra are generally collected to improve signal-to-noise ratios, from a minimum of two spectra for concentrated samples to many hours, for example, for dilute biological samples. As beam intensity increases, the signal-to-noise ratio improves and less measurement time is required. Since other elements in the sample can cause scattering of X-rays, filters are sometimes used to remove this scatter.

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 magnetic regulators allow to synthesize in one module of the X-ray apparatus main cir-euit commutator, form converter, noncontact smooth ac voltage amplitude regulator, para-metrie stabilizer, ac supply filter, fimetional protection against the short-circuit in the X-ray tube and protection against emergencies in the control circuits. 

In standardized testing (EN444, EN1435) with x-ray films one must work above 100 keV with front and back screens (generally of lead) for amplification and filtering. Lead screens filter... 

And a rotation of the emitter-receiver transducer around the "object" (or a rotation of the object) gives a annulus of center O and radii [Km, Km] [2]. The situation is identical to that of X-ray tomography (slice-by-slice spectral coverage), but with a band-pass spectral filter instead of a low-pass spectral filter. ...
