Different smoothing algorithms were applied and optimal parameter sets are discussed, as this has not been done before. The smallest error in the determination of the broadening function occurred with the usage of spline functions. It is shown that the broadening function of the spectrometer can be well described by a symmetrical Gaussian function. The resolution and the intensity dependence on the pass energy is determined for the spectrometer, as well a.s the linewidth of the monochromated X-rays. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V. |
