A high-power X-ray generator equipped with a lanthanum hexaboride cathode has been developed for X-ray absorption fine structure experiments. A high tube-current of more than 1,000 mA can be provided when operated at low tube-voltage of less than 20 kV. In addition, the focal width is narrow enough (less than 0.1 mm) to ensure good energy resolution. Extremely intense monochromatic X-rays (106 ∼ 107 counts/(sec.mm2) at the sample position), which are completely free from higher order harmonics and tungsten contamination lines, are available, when a Johansson-type spectrometer is employed. The filament life has been significantly prolonged by the high vacuum specification of the tube.
