The use of Image Plates for Laue diffraction with synchrotron radiation with olivine single-crystal studies as an example

H. Euler, R. Gilles and G. Will

Abstract: In Laue experiments at the SRS Daresbury, Image Plates were used to determine the crystal structure of an olivine single-crystal, (Mg₉₀Fe₁₀)₂SiO₄. The exposure time was 50 ms. For the complete data set, five different settings were recorded within 20 min. This is the first time that Image Plates have been successfully used for crystal structure analysis of minerals or small crystals.
