Depth-Sensitive Topography
The following proposal from our collaborators at CHESS was discussed at our meeting 1/17/2008.
Alexander Kazimirov ( ayk7@cornell.edu ) has been developing a method that can produce depth sensitive topographic information. The first publication is here. He thought it would be interesting to examine one of your thin diamonds as part of a study he will be doing at ESRF in a few weeks. Would you be interested in lending him a sample? Because the work involves method exploration and development, the sample could be broken or otherwise not too valuable for your needs, but it still should be a good crystal. The thickness could be anywhere from, say 10 to 50 or even 100 microns.
The following dialog ensued between us.
- What is the probability of breaking it?
- answer
- What are the plans for mounting it?
- answer
- What minimum size is required?
- answer
- Are there any other requirements? planarity? well-known rocking curves already measured? if so, which planes?
- answer
