Abstract

We have studied with the sphere-in-contact model the structure of rhombohedral graphite and found that there are molecular channels 22.7 degrees with respect to the material symmetry axis. We show via theoretical simulations with the Laue equation, Kramers equation and Duane-Hunt law that X-ray radiation (λ < 1.34 Å) that is traveling along these molecular channels would have a larger mean-free-path. This suggests that stacks of rhombohedral graphite can become effective filters for X-ray sources, such as the ones used in Laue photography and other X-ray techniques that use Bremsstrahlung.
