A comparative experimental study of the X-ray emission in the water-window spectral region has been performed using carbon nanofibers (CNFs) of different sizes and graphite plate targets, irradiated with ultra-short (Ti:sapphire) laser pulses. More than an order of magnitude enhancement in the X-ray yield is observed from CNFs of 60-nm diameter with respect to graphite targets. The X-ray emission from CNFs of 160-nm diameter was also high. The integrated X-ray yield of these carbon-based targets scales with the laser intensity (I L) as IL ~ 1.3-1.4I_{\mathrm{L}}^{\sim 1.3-1.4} in the intensity range of 4×1016–4×1017 W/cm2. The effect of the laser pulse duration on the X-ray emission from the CNFs was also studied by varying the pulse duration from 45 fs up to 3 ps at a constant fluence of 2×104 J/cm2. The optimum laser pulse duration for maximum X-ray emission increases with the diameter of the CNFs used. The results are explained from physical considerations of heating and hydrodynamic expansion of the CNF plasma in which resonance field enhancement takes place while passing through two times the critical density. The results add to the efforts towards achieving an efficient low-cost water-window X-ray source for microscopy.  相似文献

The characterization of an iron-containing natural zeolitic sample from the deposit of Tasajeras (Cuba) has been carried out by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and Fe K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). The results show that iron is mainly located (ca. 96%) as Fe3+ in an octahedral site of the clinoptilolite framework. No evidence of tetrahedrally coordinated Fe3+ was found. The remaining 4% Fe is located as Fe2+ in an extraframework octahedral site, probably as a solvated ion, within the clinoptilolite structure.  相似文献

The E2 nuclear resonance effect in hadronic atoms offers a way to increase the hadronic information that can be obtained from hadronic X-ray experiments. The effect occurs when an atomic deexcitation energy closely matches a nuclear excitation energy, so that some configuration mixing occurs. It shows up as an attenuation of some of the hadronic X-ray lines from a resonant versus a normal isotope target. A number of promising cases for ifπ?, K?, p?, and Σ? atoms are discussed and a spectacular and potentially very informative experiment on p?-100Mo is proposed.  相似文献

Microdroplets of 15-μm diameter are subjected to ultra-short laser pulses of intensities up to 1015Wcm−2 to produce hot dense plasma. The hot electrons produced in the microdroplet plasma result in efficient generation of hard X-rays in the range 50–150keV at an irradiance as low as 8×1014Wcm−2. The X-ray source efficiency is estimated to be about 2 ×10−7%. A prepulse that is about 11ns ahead of the main pulse strongly influences the droplet plasma and the resulting X-ray emission. For a similar laser prepulse and intensity, no measurable hard X-ray emission is observed when the laser is focused on a solid target of similar composition and this indicates that liquid droplet targets are best suited for hard X-ray generation in laser–plasma interactions.  相似文献

The influence of a prepulse on soft X-ray emission in the range of 50–200 from an aluminium plasma produced by 130 fs Ti: Sapphire laser pulses with an intensity of 1014 W/cm2 at normal incidence is studied. An ultrashort prepulse with an intensity of 1013 W/cm2 significantly enhances soft X-ray emission when there is a long time separation ( > 100 ps) between the prepulse and an intense main pulse. It is also observed for the first time that a prepulse with a short pulse time separation can slightly reduce soft X-ray emission, contrary to the previous work done using 248 nm laser pulses. This can be explained qualitatively in terms of the dependence of absorption on the length scale.  相似文献

The construction and use of an X-ray pinhole camera with a nanosecond shutter is described. Photographs of X-ray emission from plasma generated by a CO2 laser (at incident intensities of ? 1013 W cm?2) were recorded with time and space resolution of 6 ns and ~ 20 μm respectively, and the structure of localised X-ray emission regions was measured. These observations are related to contemporary theories of non-linear laser-plasma interactions.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

According to the spectra of stationary X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) of BaF2: Eu nanophosphors at 80 and 294 K, it was revealed that the thermal annealing of fine-grained nanoparticles (d?=?35?nm) in the range of 400–1000°C, which is accompanied by an increase of their sizes in the range of 58–120?nm, does not result in effective changes of the charge state of Eu3 + → Eu2 + activator, in contrast to CaF2: Eu nanoparticles. The maximum light output of X-ray excited luminescence of BaF2: Eu nanophosphors in the 590?nm emission band of Eu3+ ion was observed at an annealing temperature of 600°C with the average size of nanoparticles 67?nm. The subsequent growth of annealing temperatures, especially in the range of 800–1000°C, causes decrease in the light output of X-ray excited luminescence due to the increase of defect concentration in the lattice as a result of sharp increase of nanoparticle sizes and their agglomeration. In BaF2: Eu nanoparticles of 58?nm size, according to the thermostimulated luminescence (TSL) spectrum, transformation of Eu3+ → Eu2+ under the influence of long-time X-ray irradiation was revealed for the peak of 151?K. Thus, X-ray excited luminescence spectra of BaF2: Eu nanophosphors are formed predominantly due to the emission of Eu3+ ions, while emission of Eu2+ ions is observed in the TSL spectra.  相似文献

We give an overview of recent experimental results on optical-field-ionization collisional soft X-ray lasers developed at LOA. By focusing a 30-fs, circularly polarized Ti-sapphire laser pulse at an intensity of up to 8×1017 Wcm-2 into a low-density gas cell containing Xe or Kr, we produced a few mm long plasma column for soft X-ray amplifier. Saturated amplification has been achieved on the 4d95d(1S0)–4d95p(1P1) transition at 41.8 nm in Xe8+, and on the 3d94d(1S0)–3d94p(1P1) transition in Kr8+ at 32.8 nm. Under optimum pumping conditions the Xe8+ laser provides about (5±2)×109 photons per pulse whilst the Kr8+ laser delivers up to (2.5±1)×109 photons per shot. The repetition rate of these soft X-ray lasers is 10 Hz. The beam wavefront of the Xe8+ laser has been measured by a Shack–Hartmann soft X-ray wavefront sensor, and the pulse duration by a cross-correlation technique.

Molecular orbital calculations performed using the SCF Xα Scattered Wave Cluster method are presented for the octahedral oxyanions MgO6?10, AlO6?9 and SiO6?8. The AlO6?9 results are used to assign and interpret the X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), X-ray emission (XES) and u.v. spectra of Al2O3. Agreement between calculation and experiment is good for valence band and fair for conduction band orbitais. The SCF Xα results for MgO6?10 are also in good agreement with observed valence band energies in MgO, but in this case the lowest energy features in the u.v. spectrum are not assignable in terms of either the calculations or the X-ray spectral results. The substantial increase in covalency expected between the Mg and Si oxides is evidenced in the calculations by an increase in valence region width from 2.6 to 5.3 eV and an increase in valence-conduction band separation from 5.2 to 10.0 eV. The calculated trends are in reasonable agreement with u.v. spectral data and with absolute valence orbital binding energies derived from X-ray spectra. A comparison of the SiO6?8 calculation with the analogous tetrahedral SiO4?4 calculation shows the valence band in the octahedral oxyanion to be much simpler in structure and somewhat narrower than that in the tetrahedral oxyanion. Using the orbital structure calculated for the valence bands of tetrahedral and octahedral oxides, a method is presented for calculating atomization energies directly from X-ray spectral data for SiO2, Al2O3 and MgO. Results are in good agreement with experiment but the method involves an empirical parameter which is not presently understood in detail. Studies of trends in p-type bonding orbital binding energies derived from experimental data provide a qualitative explanation for the preferred coordination numbers in the Mg, Al and Si oxides.  相似文献

X-ray Free-Electron Lasers (FELs) are beginning to deliver a revolution in X-ray experiments, thanks to their ultra-bright (peak brightness exceeding 1033 photons/s/mm2/mrad2/0.1%BW), ultrashort (down to a few fs), spatially coherent X-ray pulses. Presently operational facilities cover wide spectral ranges, from the VUV and soft X-ray wavelengths of FLASH in Hamburg (down to 4.2 nm), to the hard X-rays delivered by the LCLS in Stanford (wavelengths of 0.15 nm or shorter). The basic properties of the new sources are briefly reviewed, and the impact on resonant scattering experiments is discussed. The perspective of investigating ultrafast magnetism, and, more generally, the time-dependent response of strongly correlated electron systems, in a pump-and-probe mode at the L edges of 3d transition metals, would be very attractive. In the hard X-ray range, the very recent proposal of self-seeded X-ray FELs, with 10−5 intrinsic bandwidth, tunable wavelength, 100 fs pulses and number of photons per pulse of order 1012 also opens exciting possibilities for resonant scattering.  相似文献

We present studies of X-ray emission from aluminium under picosecond and femtosecond irradiation in the intensity range 1012-1015 W cm-2. We use a new and simple method to measure spectrally resolved absolute X-ray yields. It is shown that the X-ray yields can be obtained for arbitrary levels of X-ray flux. We present details of the variation of the absolute yields as a function of wavelength, intensity, polarization and pulse duration of the incident laser radiation. Electron temperatures in the keV range are observed at 1015 W cm-2 with femtosecond laser pulses. Received 12 August 1999 and Received in final form 29 November 1999  相似文献

A tabletop, short-pulse laser-based hard X-ray () source equipped with an advanced X-ray optics and dedicated for high-resolution spectroscopy and time-resolved diffraction is described. Operation of the source together with a high-resolution spectrometer containing a large-aperture highly annealed pyrolytic graphite gave a resolution E/ΔE of ~1,800 for the spectral range around line of Cu. The estimated total flux of the 8.05-keV photons was equal to 5.9 × 1010 ph/s in 4π sr. Performance boost of the source caused by X-ray optics relied on the significant increase in the Cu- photon flux on both, the sample (4.7 × 106 ph/s) and the detector (3.4 × 103 ph/s). A spectral brightness of 1.4 × 107 ph/s/mm2/mrad2 was derived from the source parameters for the line. Better performance due to high collecting power and reflectivity of the spectrometer enabled application of the cross-correlation technique with an Ni foil. An upper bound of emission duration of 323 ± 47 fs was obtained in this measurement. X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy on an Ni sample with an acquisition time of only 15 min confirmed the increased capability of the setup also for continuous spectrum (bremsstrahlung).  相似文献

A laser plasma X-ray source of narrow spectral range in the water-window region, is reported using a 50–50 (atomic fraction) mixture of gold-copper mix-Z planar target. Plasma was produced using the second harmonic beam of an Nd:glass laser focused to an intensity ~1013 W/cm2 on the target. The spectrum of the plasma radiation transmitted through a free-standing 0.4 μm aluminium/0.9 μm vanadium X-ray filter foil was measured to lie in the narrow-band of 24–26 Å. This provides a debris-free X-ray dose of 2–3 mJ/sr which can be used for single shot X-ray imaging of live biological samples.  相似文献

We realize a Ne-like Ar 46.9 nm soft X-ray laser pumped by a capillary discharge. The study of the laserpulse-intensity distribution is important for applications of soft X-ray lasers. The intensity distribution demonstrates the gain distribution, plasma radius, and axial plasma density that contribute to the study of the laser-pulse formation. To measure the intensity in different positions of the X-ray laser spot, we moved transversally an X-ray diode (XRD) assembled with a slit. We obtain the onedimensional intensity distribution. We find a laser divergence (FWHM) of 4.0 mrad. According to the gain-guided model, we calculate the intensity distribution. The measured divergence of 4.0 mrad roughly corresponds to a plasma radius a approximately equal to 230–250 μm and on-axis electron density n e 8.0?1018 ?9.0?1018 cm ?3. The results of calculations indicate that the divergence of the intensity distribution increases when the plasma radius decreases and the on-axis electron density increases.  相似文献

We present the first Chandra X-ray observations of the H2O megamaser galaxy Mrk1210 (UGC4203), a Seyfert 2 galaxy at an approximate distance of D ~ 57.6 Mpc. The Chandra X-ray image, with by far the highest angular resolution (~1″), displays an unresolved compact core toward the nuclear region of Mrk1210. Comparisons with the previous X-ray observations in the nuclear emission and the spectral shape indicate a fairly stable phase between 2001 (BeppoSAX and XMM-Newton) and 2004 (Chandra) after a dramatic variation since 1995 (ASCA). The best-fit model of Chandra X-ray spectrum consists of two components. The soft scattered component can be best fitted by a moderately absorbed power-law model adding a spectral line at ~0.9 keV (possibly a Ne-Kα fluorescent line), while the hard nuclear component can be well reproduced by a heavily absorbed power-law model (N H ~ 2×1023 cm?2) with an additional line at ~6.19 keV (close to the Fe-Kα fluorescent line). The derived absorption-corrected X-ray luminosity implies that the dramatic variation of spectral properties is caused by significant changes of the absorbing column density along the line-of-sight, while the intrinsic nuclear X-ray luminosity remains stable. In this case, the absorbers should be anisotropic and its size can be constrained to be less than 0.0013 pc. In addition, we also estimate the mass of central engine, the disk radius and the accretion rate of the accretion disk to be 107.12±0.31 M , ~1 pc and 0.006, respectively.

Experiments were performed with a 15 J/500 ps Nd:glass laser (λ = 1064 nm) focussed to an intensity >1014 W/cm2. X-ray emissions from carbon foam and 5% Pt-doped carbon foam of density 150–300 mg/cc were compared with that of the solid carbon targets. The thickness of the carbon foam was 15 µm on a graphite substrate. X-ray emission was measured using semiconductor X-ray diodes covered with various filters having transmissions in different X-ray spectral ranges. It covered X-ray spectrum of 0.8–8.5 keV range. The X-ray emission in the soft X-ray region was observed to increase to about 1.8 times and 2.3 times in carbon foam and Pt-doped foam, respectively with respect to solid carbon. In hard X-rays, there was no measurable difference amongst the carbon foam, Pt-doped carbon foam and solid carbon. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis demonstrates that foam targets smoothens the crater formed by the laser irradiation.  相似文献

This communication deals with the conditions of 192Ir isotope production under a nonreactor technology via the 193Ir(γ, n)192Ir reaction. It can be carried out by irradiation of a target from natural iridium with the high-energy X-ray of an electron accelerator. The possibility of increasing the photonuclear yield of the target isotope by addition of the 191Ir(n, γ)192Ir reaction induced by moderated photoneutrons has been shown. For this, an X-ray converter and a target were placed inside a neutron moderator. Data on the 192Ir and admixture yields for the techniques using the moderator and without it have been obtained by computer simulation and experimentally.  相似文献

The production of electron-positron and muon-antimuon pairs in high-frequency laser fields via few-photon absorption is considered. It is assumed that an intense X-ray laser beam collides either with a relativistic ion beam or with a second, equally intense laser beam. We study the generation of free e + e ? pairs, free μ+μ? pairs, and bound-free e + e ? pairs where in the latter case the electron is born in a low-lying atomic orbit of the projectile nucleus. Effects resulting from the finite nuclear size, the laser’s polarization state, and its magnetic field component are examined, which are testable experimentally by virtue of upcoming X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) devices.  相似文献

Ag-doped CdS nanoparticles were synthesized by an ultrasound-assisted microwave synthesis method. The X-ray diffraction patterns reveal a structural evolution from cubic to hexagonal with increasing molar ratios of Ag+/Cd2+ from 0% to 5%. It shows that the Ag-doped hexagonal CdS nanoparticles are polycrystal. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the CdS nanoparticles doping with 5% Ag+ shows that the doped Ag in CdS is metallic. Simultaneously, the characteristic Raman peaks of the CdS nanoparticles enhance with increasing Ag+ concentrations. The photocatalytic activity of different Ag-doped samples show a reasonable change due to different ratios of Ag which doped into CdS.  相似文献
