Description

Medium energy X-ray absorption spectrometer based on laboratory X-ray source
Technical Field
The invention relates to an X-ray absorption spectrometer, in particular to a high-resolution medium-energy X-ray absorption spectrometer based on a laboratory X-ray source. A medium energy X-ray absorption spectrometer based on a laboratory X-ray source.
Description of the background
The X-ray absorption spectrum is an experimental technology which matures along with the development of a synchrotron radiation device, is one of important methods for researching a substance structure, can research an atomic neighbor local structure under various conditions such as solid state, liquid state and the like, and is widely applied to various fields such as materials, biology, chemistry, environment, geology and the like. The near-edge X-ray absorption spectrum (XANES) has higher requirement on energy resolution, which is generally smaller than the natural bandwidth of the absorption edge of the element to be detected, and the energy resolution required by the extended-edge X-ray absorption spectrum (EXAFS) is equivalent to the natural bandwidth of the specific absorption edge of the element. The energy resolution and the counting rate of the spectrometer are important indexes for spectrometer development.
The early X-ray absorption spectrometers based on laboratory light sources are basically EXAFS spectrometers with low energy resolution, and the applicable energy ranges of the X-ray absorption spectrometers are all 5-20keV in the hard X-ray band, and mainly comprise a planar crystal EXAFS spectrometer, a bent crystal EXAFS spectrometer, a total reflection EXAFS spectrometer, a dispersion EXAFS spectrometer and the like. Planar crystals have low diffraction efficiency, although they have high energy resolution.
Currently, the X-ray curved crystal spectrometers mainly comprise Rowland circle type, vonHamos type, johann type and Johansson type crystal spectrometers.
The Von-Hamos type spectrometer does not need to move any optical element during energy scanning, can obtain higher energy resolution, but has lower detection efficiency due to smaller collected solid angle and poorer signal-to-noise ratio of a large background signal. Johansson-type flexural spectroscopy is theoretically capable of achieving higher energy resolution, but the processing of the crystal limits its final performance.
With the development of micro-focusing X-ray source and the improvement of bending crystal process, G.T.Seidler of university of Washington in 2014 is designed and built with a set of hard X-ray wave band (5-12 keV) XAS spectrometer based on laboratory light source, johann type bending crystal, "point-to-point energy scanning" and sub eV energy resolution, the energy resolution is higher, and the counting rate of 100W X-ray source at the detector can reach 50kcps. The solid angle collected by the Johann type bent crystal spectrometer is larger, so that high detection efficiency can be obtained, compared with a Von-Hamos type bent crystal spectrometer, the higher signal-to-noise ratio can be achieved, but the higher energy resolution can be achieved only in a back scattering geometric configuration, and the requirement on mechanical optical calibration is higher because crystals and detectors are required to carry out linkage scanning during energy scanning.
The rowland circle imaging principle is a theoretical basis of a high-resolution X-ray absorption spectrometer, as shown in fig. 1, the diameter of a rowland circle 101 is equal to the curvature radius of a curved crystal 102, incident light is placed on the rowland circle 101, a limiting slit 105 is arranged between an X-ray source 103 and the curved crystal 102, X-rays of the X-ray source 103 are subjected to energy monochromatization through the crystal, namely spectral lines of various wavelengths generated after the diffraction of the crystal can be focused in the meridian plane direction (meridian plane, i.e., rowland circle plane, and a vector plane is perpendicular to the rowland circle), and focuses (i.e., detectors 104) are arranged at different positions of the rowland circle according to the magnitude of different bragg angles θ, so that energy selection is performed.
Although there are many X-ray absorption spectrometers based on the rowland circle principle in laboratories and synchrotron radiation, medium energy X-ray (2-5 keV) absorption spectrometers (Laboratory Tender X Ray Absorption Spectrometer, lab-TXAS) based on conventional laboratory X-ray sources have not been reported, and the greatest difficulty of medium energy X-ray spectrometers compared to existing hard X-ray band spectrometers is: the photon count of the laboratory light source in the medium energy section is too low, so that the measurement signal is too weak and the resolution is low.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further illustrated with reference to specific examples. It should be understood that the following examples are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
Fig. 2-3 show a laboratory X-ray source-based medium energy X-ray absorption spectrometer for X-ray absorption spectroscopy of a sample to be tested (e.g. a radioactive actinide) according to one embodiment of the invention, comprising an X-ray source 1, a curved crystal 2 and a detector 3, a sample stage 4 arranged between the curved crystal 2 and the detector 3, a motion adjustment mechanism 5 and a vacuum chamber 6, which are located on a movable and radius-constant rowland circle. A limiting slit is provided between the X-ray source 1 and the curved crystal 2 to reduce the acceptance angle of the curved crystal 2, thereby improving the energy resolution.
Wherein the X-ray source 1 is arranged to output a bremsstrahlung white light and form a focal spot. The X-ray source 1 is preferably a medium power X-ray source with a power of 100-300W.
The X-ray source 1 has a source window (not shown) in a direction in which it faces the curved crystal 2 to transmit and emit X-rays well through the source window and vacuum-seal the inside of the X-ray source 1.
The absorptivity of the source window is one of the decisive factors influencing the performance of the laboratory-based mid-energy X-ray absorption spectrometer of the present invention. According to the calculation, the attenuation of air and common window materials such as Be, siC and the like to 2-5keV is serious. In this embodiment, the source window is of a material Be.
However, the Be window thickness is typically greater than 100 μm for existing commercial medium power X-ray sources (100-300W), which cannot meet the needs of the laboratory X-ray source-based medium energy X-ray absorption spectrometer of the present invention of 2-5 keV. The focal spot of the X-ray source 1 is thus located on the rowland circle, the diameter of which is at most 50 μm, thereby reducing the influence of the focal spot size on the energy resolution, and the source window is arranged close to the focal spot of the X-ray source 1, in this embodiment the distance between the source window and the focal spot being in the range of 15-20mm. Since the size of the source window is limited by the size of the divergence angle of the bremsstrahlung white light output by the X-ray source 1, and the closer the source window is to the focal spot under the condition of fixed divergence angle of the emergent light, the smaller the area of the source window, therefore, the focal spot passing through the X-ray source is positioned on the rowland circle, and the distance between the focal spot and the window is reduced, so that the area of the source window is reduced, and the thickness of the source window can be reduced. Finally, in the case of a power of 200W of the X-ray source 1, the thickness of the source window is 50 μm. The thinner the source window is, the better the thickness of the source window is, the thinner source window material can reduce the attenuation of X-rays, but certain intensity and radiation damage resistance are still maintained, the thinnest thickness of the source window can reach 50 mu m under the current power of 200W, and when the existing Be window with the thickness of 200 mu m is adopted, the energy 2keV transmittance is less than 10%, the final spectrometer counting rate is lower, and the requirements of the laboratory X-ray-based medium-energy X-ray absorption spectrometer with the 2-5keV can not Be met. The middle energy X-ray absorption spectrometer based on the laboratory X-ray source reduces the absorption of window materials by adopting an X-ray window with the thickness of 50 mu m, thereby improving the intensity of the X-ray source 1 and being applicable to the laboratory absorption spectrometer with the thickness of 2-5 keV.
The X-ray source 1 may be used as an X-ray system 100 of the laboratory X-ray source based medium energy X-ray absorption spectrometer of the present invention.
The curved crystal 2 is arranged to energy-select the incident bremsstrahlung light by bragg diffraction. Wherein, the bending crystal 2 is Johann type spherical bending crystal and can be purchased commercially. The curved crystal 2 can perform energy splitting and focusing on the incident X-rays in both a meridian direction (i.e., a direction of a plane where the rowland circle is located) and a sagittal direction, and can obtain higher diffraction efficiency than a cylindrical crystal. The conventional spherical bent crystal mainly comprises Johann type spherical bent crystal and Johansson type spherical bent crystal, and in theory, the latter can obtain higher energy resolution, but the limitation of the crystal processing technology is not ideal in practice, so in the embodiment, the selected bent crystal 2 is Johann type spherical bent crystal.
The curved crystal 2 is mounted on a crystal holder, and the curved crystal 2 and the crystal holder together form the crystal analyser 200 of the laboratory X-ray source based medium energy X-ray absorption spectrometer of the invention.
The detector 3 is arranged to collect "quasi-monochromatic" X-rays after diffraction by said curved crystal 2. The detector 3 is a silicon drift detector usable in vacuum with an energy resolution < 130eV, having a detector window (not shown) for sealing the interior of the detector 3 from ultra-high vacuum and allowing light to pass through. The detector window has a window thickness of 12.5 μm, a material of Be, and an effective area of 50m m2 The maximum photon counting rate is 1Mcps, and the higher harmonic content after the diffraction of the bent crystal can be effectively restrained.
The detector 3 described above may be used as a laboratory X-ray source-based medium energy X-ray absorption spectrometer detection system 300 of the present invention.
The sample stage 4 is plated with the sample to be measured. In this embodiment, the sample stage 4 is a 200nm silicon nitride window, and the sample to be measured is plated on the sample stage 4 by using a magnetron sputtering process, so that the thickness of the sample to be measured can be controlled and the absorption of the carrier can be reduced. The sample stage 4 is arranged at the end between the curved crystal 2 and the detector 3 near the detector 3. Specifically, the sample stage 4 is installed in a sample introduction chamber, and the bent crystal 2 and the detector 3 are fixed therebetween through the sample introduction chamber. The sample stage 4 and the sample introduction chamber together form a sample system 400 of the laboratory X-ray source based medium energy X-ray absorption spectrometer of the present invention.
The bending crystal 2 and the detector 3 are both arranged on an optical platform 7 through the motion adjusting mechanism 5, and the motion adjusting mechanism 5 is arranged to drive the bending crystal 2 and the detector 3 to move and adjust along multiple dimension directions, and the X-ray source 1, the bending crystal 2 and the detector 3 are always positioned on the Roland circle with constant radius so as to realize optical calibration and energy scanning. In this embodiment, the motion adjusting mechanism 5 includes a stepper motor (not shown) and a crystal multidimensional adjusting mechanism 51 and a detector multidimensional adjusting mechanism 52 connected to the stepper motor, and the stepper motor is a high-precision vacuum inner stepper motor, so as to improve the control precision of the optical element bending crystal 2 and the detector 3, and further improve the energy resolution.
In this embodiment, the X-ray source 1 is directly fixed on said optical stage 7 and the sample stage 4 and the detector 3 are fixed in connection with each other for a common movement.
Referring again to fig. 2, in other embodiments, in addition to the curved crystal 2 and detector 3, the X-ray source 1 and the sample stage 4 are also mounted on an optical stage 7 by the motion adjustment mechanism 5.

The detector multidimensional adjustment mechanism 52 comprises a third translation stage 521, a fourth translation stage 522 and a second rotation stage 523 which are sequentially arranged from bottom to top, and the detector 3 is fixed on the second rotation stage 523. The third 521 and fourth 522 translation stages are respectively arranged to drive the detector 3 in two horizontal directions X3 and Y perpendicular to each other, and the second 523 rotation stage is arranged to drive the detector 3 about its vertical axis (i.e. in the second direction of rotation θ) Z2 ) And (5) rotating.

Fig. 5 shows the movement of the movement control device 5, i.e. the movement of the movement control device 5 such that the X-ray source 1, the curved crystal 2 and the detector 3 are always maintained on a rowland circle with a constant radius. In this example, the Roland circle has a diameter of 0.5m. And establishing a two-dimensional coordinate system by taking the X-ray source 1 as an origin of the coordinate system and taking the horizontal movement direction of the bent crystal 2 as an X-axis, wherein the radius of the Rowland circle is R, the bent crystal 2 moves along an axis I, and the moving axis I is coincident with the axis of the X-ray source 1. During the energy scan, the position of the X-ray source 1 is fixed, the radius of the Rowland circle is kept constant, and the curved crystal 2 changes the Bragg angle θ by horizontal movement along the X-axis direction and rotation of the curved crystal 2 itself B The detector 3 determines its position according to the X-ray source 1, the position of the bent crystal 2 and the radius of the rowland circle, and performs data acquisition. Due to the linkage of the bending crystal 2 and the detector 3 and the change in the position of the rowland circle at the time of energy scanning, the coordinates (a x ,A y ) Coordinates of the detector 3 (D x ,D y ) And Bragg angle theta B The following relation needs to be satisfiedThe formula:

The X-ray source 1 is arranged at the outer side of the vacuum cavity 6 and is fixedly connected with the vacuum cavity 6 through a flange.
Referring again to fig. 1, the vacuum chamber 6 described above may be used as a vacuum system 600 for a laboratory X-ray source-based medium energy X-ray absorption spectrometer of the present invention.
In addition, the laboratory X-ray source-based medium energy X-ray absorption spectrometer of the invention can further comprise a radiation protection system 700, a motion control system 800 and a data acquisition system 900, wherein the motion control system 800 is connected with the motion adjustment mechanism 5 to control the motion adjustment mechanism 5 to drive the X-ray source 1, the bending crystal 2, the detector 3 and the sample stage 4 to move and adjust along multiple dimension directions, and the data acquisition system is connected with the detector 3 to realize data acquisition of the detector.
