6. Basics <strong>of</strong> Bragg-Brentano geometry<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bragg-Brentano geometry is frequently used like a tool for the most <strong>of</strong> the<br />

diffractometers. This geometry was applied <strong>in</strong> analytical <strong>in</strong>strument -<br />

diffractometer (Figure 10), which was an <strong>in</strong>genious <strong>in</strong>vention. It is a commonly<br />

used <strong>in</strong>strument where the samples reveal polycrystall<strong>in</strong>e nature.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bragg-Brentano diffractometer comb<strong>in</strong>es a high efficiency with high<br />

resolution.<br />

Figures 11 <strong>and</strong> 12 present the Bragg-Brentano geometry for X-ray beam focus<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>its</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>ciple. <strong>The</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> idea is that, focus <strong>of</strong> the X-ray tube, sample <strong>and</strong><br />

detector are placed on the same focus<strong>in</strong>g circle.<br />
