Si(Li) semictors developed for nuclear spectrometry have achieved energy resolutions of a few hundred eV compared with the keV of the conventional detector for X-ray spectrometry or diffractometry. So far, commercially available equipment incorporating a liquid nitrogen tank is too heavy and cumbersome for existing spectrometers and diffractometers. We have redesigned a Si(Li) probe suitable to replace scintillation or gas proportional counters on any conventional equipment.
