Abstract
Provided is a furnace for a transmission mode X-ray diffractometer and a transmission mode X-ray diffractometer using the same. The furnace for a transmission mode X-ray diffractometer includes a sample heating unit disposed adjacent to a quartz capillary accommodating a sample to heat the sample, and a main body disposed to surround the quartz capillary and the sample heating unit and having an insulating function for allowing the heated sample to maintain a thermal equilibrium state.

A furnace for a transmission mode X-ray diffractometer, comprising:
- a sample heating unit disposed adjacent to a quartz capillary accommodating a sample to heat the sample;
- and
- a main body disposed to surround the quartz capillary and the sample heating unit and having an insulating function for allowing the heated sample to maintain a thermal equilibrium state,
- wherein the main body includes:
- a first through hole into which an X-ray is input;
- and
- a second through hole provided to face the first through hole with the quartz capillary being interposed therebetween, so that the X-ray passing through the sample and diffracted by the sample is emitted from the second through hole,
- wherein the second through hole is tapered according to a diffraction angle of the X-ray to have a diameter gradually increasing from an inlet at which the X-ray is input toward an outlet at which the X-ray is diffracted and emitted, so that the second through hole does not interfere with the X-ray passing through the sample.
A furnace for a transmission mode X-ray diffractometer, comprising:
- a sample heating unit disposed adjacent to a quartz capillary accommodating a sample to heat the sample, wherein the sample heating unit includes a heating coil disposed adjacent to the quartz capillary to surround the quartz capillary and an insulating member disposed to surround the heating coil and having an insulating function so that the sample heated by the heating coil maintains a thermal equilibrium state;
- and
- a main body disposed to surround the quartz capillary and the sample heating unit and having an insulating function for allowing the heated sample to maintain a thermal equilibrium state,
- wherein the insulating member is configured as a quartz tube disposed to surround the heating coil,
- wherein the main body includes:
- a first through hole into which an X-ray is input, and
- a second through hole provided to face the first through hole with the quartz capillary being interposed therebetween, so that the X-ray passing through the sample and diffracted by the sample is emitted from the second through hole,
- wherein the quartz tube includes:
- a third through hole configured to communicate with the first through hole, so that the X-ray passing through the first through hole is input thereto, the third through hole having a diameter corresponding to the first through hole, and
- a fourth through hole provided to communicate with the third through hole and to face the third through hole with the quartz capillary being interposed therebetween, the fourth through hole communicating with the second through hole so that the X-ray passing through the sample and diffracted by the sample is emitted to the second through hole,
- wherein the fourth through hole is tapered to have a diameter gradually increasing according to a diffraction angle of the X-ray from an inlet at which the X-ray passing through the sample is input toward an outlet at which the X-ray is diffracted and emitted, so that the fourth through hole does not interfere with the path of the X-ray passing through the sample.
