03060 IUPAC Gold Book - in situ micro-X-ray diffraction 10.1351/goldbook.I03060 I03060 current synonym: Kossel-technique 1 Any technique which utilizes the diffraction of X-rays generated in a microstructural domain of a solid under bombardment with a finely focused electron beam, thus providing an X-ray diffraction pattern of this microstructural domain. The pattern can be recorded with a film either on the reflection or transmission side of the specimen (in the latter case the crystalline sample has to be a thin film or a small particle). diffraction https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/D01711 film https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/F02366 thin film https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/T06345 transmission https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/T06477 PAC, 1983, 55, 2023.
