[http://xds.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/html_doc/xds_parameters.html#SILICON= SILICON=] tells XDS what the absorption coefficient of the detector material is. A more proper name would be SENSOR_ABSORPTION, but historically, silicon was the first sensor material. The absorption of the sensor material needs to be known for two reasons: | |||
# in case of oblique incidence of diffracted x-rays on the detector, the path through the detector's absorbing material is longer than for vertical incidence, so more x-rays are absorbed | # in case of oblique incidence of diffracted x-rays on the detector, the path through the detector's absorbing material is longer than for vertical incidence, so more x-rays are absorbed | ||
# in that situation, the center of gravity of the absorbed x-rays is not at the same position as for an infinitely thin detector, so a positional correction is required | # in that situation, the center of gravity of the absorbed x-rays is not at the same position as for an infinitely thin detector, so a positional correction is required | ||
