完全には防げていない。FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a front view of a diffracting device used for explaining a horizontal axis type double crystal X-ray diffracting device. The X-ray beam 2 emitted from the X-ray source 1 is diffracted by the first crystal 4 and the sample crystal 5 and detected by the X-ray detector 9. In the two-crystal method, the first crystal 4 and the sample crystal 5 having the same lattice spacing are used, and the first crystal 4 and the X-ray detector 9 are fixed so that the sample crystal 5 is fine around the rotation center 7. Rotate by an angle and measure the diffraction pattern. The diffraction pattern for a very sensitive to small inclination of the local small change and lattice plane of the lattice constant, it is possible to evaluate the lattice strain of the sample crystal from the diffraction pattern. In this measurement method, when the sample crystal 5 is attached to the sample stage 6, when an excessive force is applied to the sample crystal 5, the sample crystal 5 is distorted and the measurement accuracy is deteriorated. Therefore, the sample can be held without distortion. is important. Therefore, conventionally, an electron wax or a nail varnish having a weak adhesive force is used to attach the sample crystal to the sample table, or a magnet is used to support the outer peripheral portion of the sample crystal (see, for example, JP-A-3-39643). . However, even if the sample attachment method is devised in this way, a slight strain still occurs in the sample crystal, and the deterioration of the measurement accuracy cannot be completely prevented.

FIG. 1 is a drawing schematically showing a cross section of an X-ray diffractometer according to an embodiment of the present invention. The X-ray beam 2 generated from the X-ray source 1 is repelled upward from the horizontal by an angle of θ B by a monochromator crystal 3 designed to cause diffraction at a diffraction angle of approximately θ B / 2. After that, the X-ray beam 2 is diffracted by the first crystal 4 having the same diffraction plane as the sample crystal at the diffraction angle θ B and is incident on the sample crystal 5. At this time,
Select the diffraction plane of the sample crystal that is almost parallel to the crystal surface. If the diffractive surface is selected in this way, the sample crystal 5 can satisfy the diffraction condition only by placing it on the sample table 6 placed substantially horizontally. The angular width of the diffraction intensity curve is generally 0.5
Since it is within °, a diffraction intensity curve can be obtained without fixing the sample crystal unlike the conventional case.
