Notes:
The carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) that can be used for window material in place of beryllium is a composite-type material comprising twisted carbon fibers and bisphenol-A plastic. Since the constituent elements of hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen are thoroughly dispersed as a compound, the mass absorption coefficient of CFRP is somewhat larger than that of beryllium. The diffraction pattern of CFRP shows only a single halo pattern without a Bragg-like peak which is found in Mylar. Through x-ray diffraction, CFRP was confirmed to be practical for use as a non-Bragg window material with a moderately low mass-absorption coefficient and could be substituted for crystalline beryllium.
