Bismuth has a rhomboedral A7 structure (space group R3m) with the following rhomboedral (hexagonal) parameters at 300 K: a R = 4.746 Å, αR =57.23∘ (a H = 4.546 Å, c H = 11.862 Å). In this article, we refer to the rhomboedral cell which contains 2 Bi atoms located on the (2c) Wyckoff positions

The momentum compaction factor α relates the length of an electron trajectory (L0 + ΔL) to its difference in momentum (ΔP) with an synchronous electron (L 0, P 0): \(\alpha = \frac{{{{\Delta L} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Delta L} {L_0 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {L_0 }}}} {{{{\Delta P} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Delta P} {P_0 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {P_0 }}}}\).

The spectral response range specified for this photodiode is 850 to 1650 nm, but the detection efficiency is still sufficient to detect synchrotron X-ray pulses even in the low-α mode. The guard glass in front of the diode can be removed to increase sensitivity to X-rays below 10 keV

For diffraction experiments, the XPAD3.2 detector has to be used in its proportional counting regime, i.e. with a number of incoming photons limited to 1 photon per pixel per 90 ns period. In some cases, especially when using hybrid filling modes, it is not possible to remove all X-ray attenuators despite a low counting rate in the time-resolved mode
