Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of optical technology and relates to a dimming system of a simulated light source for an X-ray high energy resolution spectrometer analyzing a crystal. The simulated light source is used to quickly collimate the X-ray high energy resolution spectrometer analyzing the crystal. Background Art

[0002] The wavelength dispersion experimental method mainly uses the specific index plane of Si / Ge single crystal, such as Si(220) and Si(111), to split the X-ray fluorescence energy emitted by the sample, and uses the surface detector to receive the fluorescence signal reflected by the crystal analyzer. This method is called high-resolution X-ray fluorescence spectrum or X-ray emission spectrum (XES). At present, the mainstream spectrometers in the international synchrotron radiation experimental station are divided into two types of emission spectrometers: Johann and von Hamos. Valence-to-Core XES (valence to core X-ray emission spectrum) and Core-to-Core XES (core to core X-ray emission spectrum) experiments of elements such as 3d, 4f and 5d can be carried out. In-situ XES experimental measurements can be realized with high pressure, photo / electrochemical in-situ devices, high temperature, catalysis, etc., mainly to obtain the electronic orbital splitting, spin state, valence state and surrounding ligand information of the target element. It is an important method for characterizing the electronic structure and atomic structure of materials. X-ray emission spectrometers contain two important components, analysis crystals and detectors. It is worth noting that XES experiments measuring different elements, or even the same element in different energy ranges (K α or K β ) emission spectrum experiment, it is necessary to calibrate and analyze the relative positions of the crystal and the detector one by one.

[0003] At present, whether it is a Johann type emission spectrometer or a von Hamos type emission spectrometer, the main method of adjusting the light is to collect the signal through the detector and adjust the K α or K β etc., for user experiments.

[0004] It often takes a long time to call up the XES signal through the surface detector. It takes about 3 hours to change the X-ray emission spectrum element experiment. Users of the experimental machine at the synchrotron radiation experimental station often need to measure a variety of experimental samples and perform XES measurements on different elements. The dimming procedure is cumbersome and time-consuming. In order to save time on the synchrotron experiment machine, beamline scientists often adjust the XES spectrum signal of a certain energy range of a certain element, such as adjusting the K of Fe. β13 signal, concentrate all K applying Fe element β13The purpose of improving the efficiency of machine time is to unify the experiments of users with different needs. However, it is not friendly to users in different places or even foreign countries, and it takes a long time to complete the XES experiments of multiple elements. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0024] In a von Hamos type full cylindrical XES experimental setup such as Figure 1 As shown, we first establish a rectangular coordinate system and place the experimental sample, analysis crystal and surface detector in the z direction. The distance between the experimental sample and the center of the analysis crystal is L 1 , the focal distance from the analysis crystal to the other side is L 2 .L 1 With L 2 The distance is equal and is determined by the energy range of the element to be measured and the crystal face index of the analysis crystal. The analysis crystal with an inner diameter of 360mm can be moved in x, y, and z respectively, and can be rotated in the Yaw (shaking head) and Pitch (nodding) directions, that is, rotated along the y-axis and z-axis, so that the analysis of multi-element XES signals can be realized to the greatest extent. The detector used in this device is a PILATUS100K (Dectris, Switzerland) surface detector, which is used to collect XES signals near the over-focus (i.e., far away from the focus) position. In order to better receive the fluorescence signal reflected by the analysis crystal, the detector also needs to realize the adjustment of five degrees of freedom, such as x, y, z, Yaw and Pitch. However, the adjustment of the five degrees of freedom of the two devices brings great difficulties to the emission spectrum modulation. For example, if the analysis crystal moves slightly in the x direction, shaking head or nodding direction, such as 5mm in the x direction and 1° deviation in the rotation direction, it is difficult for the detector to receive a complete XES signal, or even no signal. There are two difficulties in the actual dimming process: First, some elements with low energy, such as Cr, V, etc., L 1 With L 2 The distance is short, and scattered light enters the detector, affecting the XES signal. The analysis crystal and the detector need to be moved in the x or y direction to eliminate the influence of scattered light. The expansion of the spatial range increases the difficulty of dimming. Second, there is a 50mm thick beryllium window at the front end of the detector chip, and the diameter of the surface detector chip is only 50mm. The position of the detector is difficult to determine, which also increases the difficulty of dimming.

[0025] Figure 2As shown in the figure, a point light source with 4π emission is placed at the position of the experimental sample to simulate the fluorescence signal excited by X-rays irradiating the sample, and a thin white board is placed in front of the detector to receive the light signal reflected by the analysis crystal. By adjusting the analysis crystal in the four degrees of freedom directions of Yaw, Pitch, x and y, a relatively complete circular signal can be achieved on the white board. Finally, the detector chip position is moved to the white board position, which can quickly complete the dimming of the von Hamos full cylindrical emission spectrometer.

[0026] A similar principle can be used to simulate the fluorescence signal excited by X-rays irradiating the sample using a 4π point light source, which can also be quickly used in the Johann type X-ray emission spectrum modulation process, such as Figure 3 shown.

Those skilled in the art can understand that various substitutions, changes and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the attached claims.
