    No full text
    A model of a monolithic silicon LLL scanning X-ray interferometer capable of displacements up to 100 mu m is described. It can be used for the measurement of the (2 (2) over bar 0) lattice plane spacing of silicon in studies concerning the Avogadro constant and for the calibration of linear displacement transducers having sub-nanometer sensitivity

    Measuring small lattice distortions in Si-crystals by phase-contrast x-ray topography

    No full text
    X-ray phase-contrast topography has been improved by using phase modulation and computing techniques to determine lattice distortions inside near-perfect Si monocrystals. The technique presented is based on the detection of the spatially varying phase shift at the output of a monolithic x-ray interferometer of the triple Laue type using phase modulation and a multi-element detector. Information was obtained about the degree of perfection of crystals being used in the determination of the (220) lattice plane spacing of silicon and of the Avogadro constant
