Analyses performed have been to determine the feasibility of using pyrolytic graphite (PG) as an X-ray analyzing crystal. Pyrolytic graphite is formed by the pyrolysis of a hydrocarbon, which yields a hexagonal structure graphite with a high degree of anisotropy. After annealing, the anisotropic properties are enhanced even more. For most applications, the intensity and resolution are not as good as with, the best analyzing crystals; however, the extreme durability of pyrolytic graphite makes it a feasible X-ray analyzing crystal.
