微焦点源X射线相衬成像技术

 相衬成像方法利用硬X射线对低密度弱吸收物质成像，可获得高衬度图像。用菲涅尔衍射理论分析了X射线图像的形成机理。在频域中根据光学传递函数，对物像距离、样品空间频率等对图像相位衬度的影响进行了分析。分辨率和衬度是决定图像可见度的两个依据，分辨率主要依赖于光源的空间相干性，空间相干性又决定于源点尺寸，而时间相干性（单色性）是一个不重要的影响因子。利用多色微焦点源实现了X射线相衬成像技术，获得了有价值的相衬图像，如低原子序数低密度泡沫材料的硬X射线相衬图像，与吸收衬度成像相比，其图像质量得到了很大提高，能观察到泡沫材料的细微结构，分辨率可达μm量级。

靶用低密度聚4-甲基-1-戊烯泡沫的制备与表征

 通过控制体系的受热历史,改进了惯性约束聚变靶材料聚4-甲基-1-戊烯(TPX)泡沫二元溶剂体系的制备工艺,并利用β射线检测和X射线照相技术,对不同制备工艺的泡沫柱进行密度分布表征。结果表明：两种方法检测的结果基本一致,即凝胶过程的冷却速率为1 ℃/min,且凝胶后采用淬冷使其快速固化的方法能制得密度分布均匀的低密度TPX泡沫样品,从而确定了均匀泡沫的最佳制备工艺。由于二元溶剂体系的超低密度TPX泡沫样品孔径太大,极个别大孔可达数百μm,均匀度极低,所以采用TPX的环己烷一元溶剂体系可以成功制备出最低密度达3 mg/cm³的超低密度TPX泡沫样品,且满足Z箍缩物理实验用靶的需求。

Visualization of microvasculature and thrombi by X‐ray phase‐contrast computed tomography in hepatocellular carcinoma

Visualization of the microvascular network and thrombi in the microvasculature is a key step to evaluating the development of tumor growth and metastasis, and influences treatment selection. X‐ray phase‐contrast computed tomography (PCCT) is a new imaging technique that can detect minute changes of density and reveal soft tissues discrimination at micrometer‐scale resolution. In this study, six human resected hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues were investigated with PCCT. A histological stain was added to estimate the accuracy of PCCT. The results showed that the fine structures of the microvasculature (measuring 30–100 µm) and thrombi in tiny blood vessels were displayed clearly on imaging the HCC tissues by PCCT. Moreover, density distributions of the thrombi were obtained, which could be reliably used to distinguish malignant from benign thrombi in HCC. In conclusion, PCCT can clearly show the three‐dimensional subtle structures of HCC that cannot be detected by conventional absorption‐based computed tomography and provides a new method for the imageology of HCC.     

Origination and Transformation of the Monoclinic and Orthorhombic Phases in Reactor Powders of Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene

Using powerful synchrotron X-ray radiation of the beamline “Belok” operated by the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute,” we perform X-ray diffraction (XRD) study of an intact, virgin (not subjected to any external mechanical loads) particle isolated from reactor powder of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene. Along with the peaks originating from the orthorhombic phase, we detect the peaks characteristic of the monoclinic phase that is stable only under mechanical stress, suggesting that the mechanical stress that leads to the formation of the monoclinic phase and persists at room temperature develops during the polymer synthesis. The monoclinic phase gradually disappears when the particle is heated stepwise in increments of 5 K, and its peaks become undetectable when the temperature reaches 340 K. We contrast the results obtained for the phase composition of the virgin particle to those for a tablet prepared by compaction of the same reactor powder at room temperature. XRD analyses of the tablet were performed on D2 Phaser (Bruker) instrument. The monoclinic phase that originates during the polymer synthesis and the one that forms in the tablet during compaction have different parameters. We discuss the mechanisms by which these two different monoclinic phases originate during the processes involved.

Applications of a cluster decomposition of many-dimensional phase space to high-energy collisions

A high-dimensional phase space is reduced in an approximate way to a much smaller dimensional phase space, by singling out a “cluster” of a smaller number of particles (e.g. two or three). We derive the invariant mass distribution of the cluster, and, for fixed invariant mass, its c.m.s. energy distribution. The basis of the method is a two-cluster decomposition of the original phase space into the cluster of interest and the remainder. Simple, explicit formulas are given for all particles massless, and for one particle with mass and the others massless. A recipe is stated for the application of these easily calculable distributions to practical situations where the masses of particles must be taken into account. Numerical examples illustrating the validity of the approximations and applications to high-energy elementary particle collisions are given.     

Assessment of 3D inhomogeneous microstructure of highly alloyed aluminium foam via dual energy K-edge subtraction imaging

X-ray microtomography was used to evaluate the inhomogeneous characteristics of newly-developed Al–Zn–Mg foam. Using the synchrotron K-edge subtraction technique, a highly heterogeneous distribution of Zn was quantified three-dimensionally (3D) in the cell wall of as-cast foam. Time-resolved analysis of the concentration evolution revealed a tendency to a homogeneous Zn distribution as solution time prolonged. This was accompanied by a declined variation in hardness measurement. Other microstructural features after solution treatment, such as number and size distribution of micropores, were also characterised. By utilising various quenching rates, the inhomogeneities in microstructure and compression properties inside the foam were also clarified. Thus, element-sensitive tomography provides a novel solution for the 3D/4D analysis in the study of foams.

Single-shot grating-based x-ray differential phase contrast imaging with a modified analyzer grating

X-ray grating interferometer has attracted widely attention in the past years due to its capability in achieving x-ray phase contrast imaging with low brilliance source. However, the widely used phase stepping information extraction method reduces system stability and prolongs data acquisition time by several times compared with conventional x-ray absorptionbased imaging. The mechanical stepping can be avoided by using a staggered grating, but at the cost of low vertical spatial resolution. In this paper, employing a modified staggered grating and the angular signal radiography, we proposed a single-shot grating-based x-ray differential phase contrast imaging with decent vertical spatial resolution. The theoretical framework was deduced and proved by numerical experiments. Absorption, phase, and scattering computed tomography can be performed without phase stepping. Therefore, we believe this fast and highly stable imaging method with decent resolution would be widely applied in x-ray grating-based phase contrast imaging.
