Why you use liquid nitrogen in eds detector?

The ED spectrometer is comprised of a liquid nitrogen (LN2) dewar, Si crystal, and preamplifier. The special Si crystal is mounted at the end of the detector located closest to the specimen. When X-rays strike the Si crystal very small signals are produced. These signals are amplified in the detector and sent on to the analysis electronics in the computer for further processing. The crystal is cooled by a cold finger, an extension of the LN2 dewar. Liquid nitrogen cools and therefore stabilizes the electronic properties of the crystal, improving the measurements of minute X-ray signals.


Does a crystal being hit by a hammer contain ionic or metallic bonds?

Ionic. Crystal structures are formed by ionic bonds and metallic bonds are, well, between metals.


Are network solids malleable?

Covalent network solids are generally not malleable. They have crystal structures that lack obvious glide planes and the covalent bonds are difficult to break and remake. This is a contrast with the metals where many of the crystal structures have glide planes and metallic bonds are relatively easy to break and remake.


What is the difference between crystal and luster?

Luster is a property of minerals that describes their appearance. A crystal is the structure that minerals possess due to the arrangement of their atomic particles.
