  • Abstract
    Composite germanium monochromators are in the beginning of their application in neutron diffraction. In order to optimize their properties for high-resolution neutron powder diffraction we significantly improved the alignment procedure of the individual wafers used for building the monochromator plates, as we added the tin necessary for soldering with a sputtering technique instead of tin foil spacers. Sputtering could also be replaced by evaporation giving similar results.
