Figure 1: Schematic diagram of the nanosecond white-light Laue set-up.

From: Nanosecond white-light Laue diffraction measurements of dislocation microstructure in shock-compressed single-crystal copper

Figure 1

The target is mounted at the centre of an image plate lined box, with the necessary apertures for the drive, X-ray and VISAR beams. The diffraction pattern shown in the figure is data from copper shocked along [001] at ~30 GPa, with the corresponding lattice planes labelled. Diffuse features are observed around the (002), (113) and (202) peaks, which are at lower energy where the X-ray source is brightest. The inset shows the (113) peak with the diffuse features marked. The axes a and b indicate rotation around the [100] and [010] crystal axes, respectively (two sides of the image plate box and the target and collimator supports have been removed for clarity).
