Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of detection, and specifically relates to an X-ray diffraction sample stage. Background Art
[0002] X-ray diffraction is a powerful means for analyzing the internal structure of crystals and has become a conventional method for characterizing the structures of various materials. When X-rays irradiate a sample, since the crystals in the sample are composed of unit cells formed by regularly arranged atoms, the distances between these regularly arranged atoms are of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the incident X-rays. Therefore, the X-rays scattered by different atoms will interfere with each other, and strong X-ray diffraction will occur in certain special directions. In the diffraction phase test experiment, the height of the sample test surface affects the diffraction test result. When the height of the test sample surface is not at the standard test position, the light after the X-rays are diffracted by the sample will not irradiate the detector to the greatest extent, resulting in a weakening of the signal received by the detector. At the same time, it will also cause a shift in the diffraction peak position and may even make the diffraction peak undetectable, thereby causing calculation errors in phase analysis, interplanar spacing, and lattice constant. The deviation of the sample surface height from the test standard position will affect the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
[0003] In existing diffraction tests, the side tilt method is often used to test stress. This method requires tilting the entire sample stage and setting multiple tilt angles to test the change rate of the azimuth angles of different crystal planes of the sample. When the height of the test sample surface is not at the standard test position or there is movement during the test, the diffraction angle 2θ of the crystal plane will deviate, thereby causing a calculation error in stress. For existing X-ray diffractometers, the methods for testing bulk samples are as follows: (1) Using a sample holder with grooves, the bulk sample needs to be directly placed in the groove. If the thickness of the sample is less than the thickness of the groove, plasticine needs to be placed under the sample to ensure that the height of the sample surface is flush with the upper surface of the sample holder, and then the sample holder is placed on the sample stage for testing. The disadvantages of this method are: generally, the thickness of the grooves in the sample holder is very small, only a few millimeters, which is only suitable for testing bulk samples with very thin thickness and small area. Larger samples cannot be directly tested and need to be cut into a suitable volume for testing, which requires time and effort to prepare the sample; the sample cannot be fixed, which is not suitable for stress testing; and it damages the sample and affects the recycling of the sample. (2) Directly using plasticine to fix the sample on the sample stage, the height of the plasticine can be changed according to the size of the sample to make the height of the sample test surface reach the test standard height. However, the disadvantages of using plasticine are: plasticine is a soft substance with elastic deformation, and there will be a phenomenon of plasticine rebound after fixing the sample, resulting in a deviation between the sample test height and the standard position, thereby causing inaccurate test data. At the same time, plasticine has oiliness, and when it fits and wraps the sample, it will dirty the sample and affect the recycling of the sample. Summary of the Utility Model
