Abstract

We show that, whereas the present log spiral of revolution monochromator works well for Cr edges of 2.8% Cr2O3 in a V 2O3 matrix, the device transmits noticeable V extended structure in the case of 0.365% Cr2O3. We demonstrate that the transmitted V extended structure is due to the V Kβ line which is unresolved by the monochromator. It is suggested that this limitation may be overcome by designing a log spiral detector for the Cr Kβ line rather than the Cr Kα line. Aspects of the design of this modified log spiral are discussed.
