Synchrotron radiation multiple diffraction in the characterization of the PrAl2 magnetocaloric compound

Description

X-ray multiple diffraction technique using synchrotron radiation is applied to characterize the PrAl2 magnetocaloric compound. Renninger scans (phi-scans) of the (0 0 2) primary reflection were measured in the Brazilian Synchrotron Laboratory (LNLS). The (5 3 3-bar) (5 3 5) four-beam case provided a=8.0277(5) A and the sample surface polishing effect was clearly observed through the measurement of Bragg-surface diffraction (BSD) peak and the mapping (MBSD) of its multiple diffraction condition
