A station for studying solid-state chemical reactions by the Laue method

A station for studying solid-state chemical reactions by the X-ray diffraction Laue method is described. A two-coordinate position-sensitive X-ray detector is used as the registration device. In the reaction chamber the sample is kept at a controlled temperature and under pressure of a gaseous atmosphere (or vacuum). The possibility of investigating the kinetics during solid-state chemical reactions is shown for the example of crystal hydrate dehydration in vacuum. (orig.)
