Abstract:
We have shown that the dispersion properties of diamond provide an
effective spatial separation of characteristic X-ray lines with photon energies
of ~ 10 keV in the reflection of the radiation by the edge of a polished plate
in the range of grazing angles below 1°. This makes it possible to analyze the
spectrum of directional beams from continuous and pulsed radiation sources and
monochromatize the spectrum in measuring schemes where thin ribbon-shaped beams
are involved.
