Wavelength distribution of X-rays in the focus of a monochromator and an estimate of the influence of this distribution on precision measurements of lattice constants

Wavelength distribution in the focus of a Johansson type monochromator is computed assuming the tube focus emissivityG(), reflection curveR() and wavelength distribution of the incident radiationJ(-₀) are known. It is shown e.g. that the centre of gravity may be shifted in accordance with the position of the crystal on the focal circle which may considerably influence precision measurements of lattice parameters.
