Abstract

The use of synchrotron x-ray sources for diffraction and fluorescence analysis has permitted the study of a sample with improved structure resolution respectively. However, even the highly-intense x-ray spectra available using synchrotron sources may be insufficient to perform some analysis on weakly-diffracting or low-concentration samples. The available x- ray intensity per unit irradiated volume and detector noise level impose a lower limit on detection sensitivity. Even where sufficient intensity is available to make a single measurement, time constraints may still preclude diffraction data collection over sufficient reciprocal space volume or high-resolution fluorescence data collection over a large sample area.
