Fine structure of the diffraction image of an edge dislocation in high-resolution section topography

The propagation of an x-ray wave field in an elastic field of an edge dislocation crossing a scattering triangle exactly along the bisector of the scattering angle has been considered. The scattering of the x-ray wave field by a complex elastic field of the edge dislocation has been analyzed using the methods of geometrical optics. It has been established that the fine structure of a diffraction image of defects in thick crystals is determined by the differences in scattering of the normal and anomalous modes of the x-ray wave field in the vicinity of the Bragg reflection. In the case of thick crystals, the x-ray diffraction image of defects can have a symmetry different from the symmetry of the function of local misorientations of the crystal lattice. X-ray wave scattering by local distortions of the crystal lattice can occur according to two different mechanisms depending on the gradient of space changes in the deformation field. In the crystal regions where the elastic field varies slowly with a change in the distance, the x-ray wave field has had time to adjust itself to follow the course of deviations of the crystal lattice from the exact Bragg condition. In the crystal region where the elastic field changes significantly at distances of the order of the extinction length, this region leaves the reflecting position and interference scattering occurs at the interface of the region. It is important that the form of the deformation field in this case is of no significance.

On the nature of the direct image of defects in diffraction methods of X-ray topography

The regularities of X-ray scattering in the most distorted region of the crystal, where the local lattice misorientations associated with the deformation field of a defect reach a maximum, have been analyzed. The assumption is made that one of the possible mechanisms of the formation of a direct image is the wave field scattering at the pseudoboundary in the region of local misorientations, where the crystal comes out of the reflecting position near the defect axis, for example, the dislocation core. The formation of a direct image is demonstrated using numerical simulation of section topographs of model defects as an example. The model sample is a perfect single crystal containing a thin tube oriented in a certain crystallographic direction and filled by the same single-crystal material with the orientation different from that of the parent crystal. Therefore, if the model crystal is in a reflecting position, the Bragg conditions inside the tube are not satisfied. Numerical topographs show that the direct image is formed at the boundary of the tube of the model crystal.

Secure optical system that uses fully phase-based encryption and lithium niobate crystal as phase contrast filter for decryption

In this paper, the implementation of a secure optical system using fully phase encryption is described. A two-dimensional phase image obtained from an amplitude image is encrypted and decrypted by using a spatial light modulator working in phase mode. The fully phase encryption is achieved using double random phase encoding. The encrypted image is holographically recorded in a photorefractive crystal and is then decrypted by generating, through phase conjugation, the conjugate of the encrypted image. A lithium niobate crystal has been used as a phase contrast filter to change the decrypted phase image into an amplitude image, thus alleviating the need for alignment of the phase contrast set-up in the Fourier plane. Simulation results are provided to verify the proposed study. The mean square error between the primary image and decrypted image has been calculated to study the sensitivity of the system.

Generation of X rays at the grazing incidence of 18-MeV electrons on a thin Si crystal in a betatron chamber

The generation of X rays at the grazing incidence of 18-MeV electrons with a 50-μm-thick Si crystal 4 mm in length along the electron beam has been studied. The crystal has been placed in a goniometer inside the chamber of a B-18 betatron. The results exhibit strong changes in the angular distribution of bremsstrahlung at the variation of the orientation of the crystal. This effect is not observed in the case of the normal incidence of electrons on the surface of a thin crystal where the channeling of electrons, which occurs at certain orientation of the crystal, is absent. Images of a reference microstructure have been obtained with a high resolution of details of the microstructure owing to the smallness of the source of radiation. The dependence of the contrast of an image on the position of the microstructure in the radiation cone has been demonstrated.     

Fully phase-encrypted memory using cascaded extended fractional Fourier transform

In this paper, we implement a fully phase-encrypted memory system using cascaded extended fractional Fourier transform (FRT). We encrypt and decrypt a two-dimensional image obtained from an amplitude image. The full phase image to be encrypted is fractional Fourier transformed three times and random phase masks are placed in the two intermediate planes. Performing the FRT three times increases the key size, at an added complexity of one more lens. The encrypted image is holographically recorded in a photorefractive crystal and is then decrypted by generating through phase conjugation, the conjugate of the encrypted image. A lithium niobate crystal has been used as a phase contrast filter to reconstruct the decrypted phase image, alleviating the need of alignment in the Fourier plane making the system rugged.

Investigations of morphology, purity and crystal defects of the InN pillar crystals prepared by means of halide chemical vapor deposition under atmospheric pressure

Indium nitride prepared under atmospheric pressure using a halide chemical vapor deposition method has been examined by means of a variety of analytical techniques. Scanning electron microscopic observations showed that the crystals deposited onto a Si(100) substrate have hexagonal pillar structure. Based on the X-ray diffraction and X-ray pole-figure analyses, it was deduced that each InN pillar crystal grows with a different rotation angle around the 〈001〉 axis. Transmission electron diffraction showed that they are of single-like form. This was also confirmed by the selected area electron diffraction image as well.     

Diffraction‐based automated crystal centering

A fully automated procedure for detecting and centering protein crystals in the X‐ray beam of a macromolecular crystallography beamline has been developed. A cryo‐loop centering routine that analyzes video images with an edge detection algorithm is first used to determine the dimensions of the loop holding the sample; then low‐dose X‐rays are used to record diffraction images in a grid over the edge and face plane of the loop. A three‐dimensional profile of the crystal based on the number of diffraction spots in each image is constructed. The derived center of mass is then used to align the crystal to the X‐ray beam. Typical samples can be accurately aligned in ～2–3 min. Because the procedure is based on the number of `good' spots as determined by the program Spotfinder, the best diffracting part of the crystal is aligned to the X‐ray beam.     

A secret image sharing based on neighborhood configurations of 2-D cellular automata

The main goal of this work is to research how neighborhood configurations of two-dimensional cellular automata (2-D CA) can be used to design secret sharing schemes, and then a novel (n, n)-threshold secret image sharing scheme based on 2-D CA is proposed. The basic idea of the scheme is that the original content of a 2-D CA can be reconstructed following a predetermined number of repeated applications of Boolean XOR operation to its neighborhood. The main characteristics of this new scheme are: each shared image has the same size as the original one; the recovered image is exactly the same as the secret image, i.e., there is no loss of resolution or contrast; and the computational complexity is linear. Simulation results and formal analysis demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed sharing scheme.

Angular vibrations of cryogenically cooled double‐crystal monochromators

The effect of angular vibrations of the crystals in cryogenically cooled monochromators on the beam performance has been studied theoretically and experimentally. A simple relation between amplitude of the vibrations and size of the focused beam is developed. It is shown that the double‐crystal monochromator vibrations affect not only the image size but also the image position along the optical axis. Several methods to measure vibrations with the X‐ray beam are explained and analyzed. The methods have been applied to systematically study angular crystal vibrations at monochromators installed at the PETRA III light source. Characteristic values of the amplitudes of angular vibrations for different monochromators are presented.     

Upconversion enhancement in Yb3+,Tm3+:BaY2F8 quasi-nanoparticles

Yb³⁺Tm³⁺:BaY₂F₈ single crystals have been milled to quasi-nanometric size. A complete characterization of the quasi-nanoparticles has been compared with that of a bulk crystal with the same composition. The emission spectra did not show any difference as for the shape and relative intensity of the various peaks within each band, but the infrared lifetime of the quasi-nanoparticles is significantly longer than that of the bulk crystal. In agreement with other literature results we observed a strong increase of the upconverted luminescence intensity in the quasi-nanoparticles. An explanation is given as the effect of radiation trapping of the pumping radiation that increases the effective pump intensity in the volume of the quasi-nanoparticles with respect to the bulk crystal.     

Effect of dimensionality on the spectra of hybrid plasmonic-photonic crystals

Based on colloidal crystals of various dimensionality, hybrid metal-dielectric plasmonic-photonic heterocrystals have been prepared. It has been shown that the spectra of optical transmission of heterocrystals are mostly controlled by the sum of contributions of composing plasmonic and photonic crystals. At the same time, there are a number of phenomena caused by the mutual effect of heterostructure components, which lead to a deviation of observed optical properties from the linear superposition of responses of these crystals. In particular, it has been found that the anomalous transmission controlled by the plasmonic crystal decreases with increasing the dimensionality of the photonic crystal attached to it. At the same time, light reflection on a metallized surface changes light diffraction in photonic crystals and leads to Fabry-Perot oscillation amplification. It has been assumed that an intermediate layer is formed, in which Bloch modes of the photonic crystal and surface plasmon-polaritons of the plasmonic crystal are hybridized.
