abstract = {We report on the performance of the first diamond neutron
monochromator built at the ILL. It has been designed for the
hot neutron diffractometer D9 with the aim of improving
significantly the instrument performance in particular for
short wavelengths in the 0.3-0.9 Å wavelength range.
Diamond crystal plates with dimensions of 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.18
cm3 and an average mosaic spread of 0.15° have been
synthesized at the University of Augsburg. They exhibited
excellent neutron diffraction properties when examined on a
neutron double-crystal test setup. Sufficiently thick
diamond elements with a controlled mosaic spread of 0.25°
have been obtained by stacking several of these crystals.
First tests runs carried out at the ILL confirmed the
predicted high reflectivity of the diamond stacks. The
diamond prototype monochromator uses the (220) reflection in
transmission geometry replacing the Cu (220) monochromator
on D9 that has the same d-spacing. The final performance
studies on D9 showed that the diamond device did not perform
better than the original copper crystal. This unexpected
result could be explained by significant optical aberrations
caused by nonuniformities of both the angular and spatial
mosaic distribution in the individual diamond crystals, as
revealed by a detailed characterisation study using
high-energy X-ray diffraction.},
