X-ray Diffraction Experiments in Nanosecond Time Intervals

Abstract

DEBYE-SCHERRER X-ray powder patterns are conventionally obtained on photographic emulsions in times of the order of hours. When special techniques are used, the time required can be reduced to minutes or perhaps seconds. In this communication, we report the recording of X-ray powder patterns on photographic emulsions in nanosecond time intervals.
