Indium Kα radiation from a MetalJet X-ray source: comparison of the Eiger2 CdTe and Photon III detectors.

ABSTRACT

The MetalJet source makes available new Kα radiation wavelengths for use in X-ray diffraction experiments. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the application of indium Kα radiation in independent-atom model refinement, as well as approaches using aspherical atomic form factors. The results vary greatly depending on the detector employed, as the energy cut-off of the Eiger2 CdTe provides a solution to a unique energy contamination problem of the MetalJet In radiation, which the Photon III detector cannot provide.
