Gas electron diffraction of increased performance through optimization of nozzle, system design and digital control

Reuter C, Vishnevskiy Y, Blomeyer S, Mitzel NW. Gas electron diffraction of increased performance through optimization of nozzle, system design and digital control. Zeitschrift fuer Naturforschung, B: A Journal of Chemical Sciences. 2016;71(1):1-13.A no. of measures to increase the quality of data recorded with an improved Balzers Eldigraph KD-G2 gas-phase electron diffractometer are discussed. The beam-stop has been decoupled from the sector enabling us recording the current of the primary beam and scattered electrons during the expt. Different beam-stops were tested for use in the present setup. Modifications of the nozzle tip of an earlier described medium temp. nozzle are reported. The measures lead to reduced exposure times and reduced amt. of sample necessary for complete data collection. [on SciFinder(R)
