Structural Diagnostics of Metal Alloys−New Possibilities in the Use of Synchrotron Radiation

Abstract

X-ray diffraction studies of palladium-based foils (with a thickness of 130 and 150 μm) are performed at the Structural Materials Science station of the National Research Centre “Kurchatov Institute” with the use of synchrotron radiation in transmission geometry. The purpose of the work is to apply synchrotron radiation in X-ray diffraction analysis and to determine the phase composition of diffusion filters (membranes) which are in demand in technological processes for obtaining hydrogen of high purity.
