Precision cleaver for "soft" crystals
Abstract
"Soft" crystals are cleaved as thin 0.005 inch with special cleaver. Thin slices of soft crystalline materials are used in X-ray spectrometers. Slices are usually cut by hand with wire or blade. Wire tends to scratch surface and to produce slices of nonuniform thickness. Device will rapidly cut soft crystals in smooth, thin, uniform slices.
