Method of determining element concentration and phase of said element in substance with complex chemical composition

Invention can be used for determining concentration of an element and phase of the said element in a substance with complex chemical composition. A sample of analysed substance is exposed to monochromatic gamma- or X-rays. The following intensities are simultaneously recorded: primary radiation coherently scattered by the determined phase and primary radiation non-coherently scattered by the same sample. Concentration of the determined phase is established with respect to the said intensities. The said intensities are recorded at the same time as intensity of characteristic radiation of the determined element. Concentration of the determined element in the analysed sample is established from the ratio of intensity of characteristic radiation of the determined element to the intensity of radiation non-coherently scattered by the same sample.

Method of determining magnetic and structural characteristics of nanometer spatialy-ordered systems

Method of determining magnetic and structural characteristics of nanometer spatialy-ordered systems

Proposed invention is intended for defining the magnetic and structural characteristics of nanometre spatially-ordered systems. The proposed method consists in that, on defining the said characteristics, an external magnetic field is applied, at the point the specimen interacts with neutron beam, either parallel with or perpendicular to the neutron beam propagation direction. The external magnetic field magnitude is varied from zero to maximum and visa versa. The dependence of neutron scatter intensity upon the angle of scatter in external magnetic field is measured with the help of position-sensitive detector. The total and differential dependencies of the opposite-spin-orientation neutron scatter angular intensities upon external magnetic field magnitude are determined for parallel and perpendicular components relative to scatter intensity without external magnetic field. Now, the hysteresis shape of the aforesaid dependencies is used to determine the specimen magnetic properties and reversal magnetisation character.

Method for focusing of synchrotron radiation

Application: for focusing of synchrotron radiation. Substance: consists in the fact that serial Bragg reflection of SR beam is carried out from crystalline monochromator, and full external reflection (FER) is realised from focusing mirror with permanent radius of cylindrical surface R and distance between mirror and focus q during installation of monochromator at Bragg angle θm to beam, of mirror - at an angle α, which does not exceed critical angle of mirror FER, at that angle α of mirror incline to beam and Bragg angle of monochromator θm are established according to the following formulas: α=2q/R[1+q(P0/b+l0)-1], tgθm=qtgθ0(p0/b+l0)-1, where p0 is distance between source of radiation and monochromator, l0 is distance between monochromator and mirror, b is factor of monochromator asymmetry, θ0 is Bragg angle that corresponds to selected reflex of investigated sample.
