We can supply any orientation of silicon and some orientations of germanium analyzers to our valued customers. The majority is spherically bent crystals of size of 4″(100 mm) diameter, and standard bent radius covering 1 meter.
With our patented technology, we successfully developed analyzers with 4″ diameter and bent radius of 0.5 meter and 1 meter in strips within one silicon or germanium crystal wafer. These are proved to have better energy resolution by a scale of 4 without losing any efficiency compared to the original bent crystals (click for some crystal test results). Meanwhile, the quality of the older crystals with radius of 0.182m is also drastically improved with the new technology.
The traditional spherically curved “diced-flat” crystal (each pixel is flat) is also significantly improved with the help of our new crystal bonding technology, which can give the best quality of analyzers that are completely distortion and strain effect free. These kinds of crystals are most suitable in both resonant and non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering applications with pixel detectors.
High quality cylindrical shape crystals are also manufactured with our technology, both in bent shape and diced-flat shape, which is suitable for high energy resolution Von Hamos spectrometers. The cylindrically bent radius can go down to 100 mm, or even shorter if required.
