Angle-dependent X-ray emission bands of potassium intercalated graphite

The angular dependent X-ray C K-emission bands of C₈K, C₂₄K and pristine graphite were measured at take-off angles 20° and 80°. For the potassium graphite intercalated compounds (GICs) a pronounced peak is observed at 283.2 eV. Numerical decomposition of the emission bands into their constituent π- and σ-subbands gives evidence for non-rigid band behaviour of potassium GICs and shows that the peak has to be attributed to carbon π-like states.     

On the nature of emission bands of self-trapped excitons in solid xenon

The paper presents the analysis of experimental data on the temperature dependence of luminescence spectra of solid xenon. The mechanisms of exciton self-trapping down to quasi-molecular states under different conditions are discussed. A new treatment of spectral distribution of intensity through quasi-molecular luminescence bands is proposed; according to the treatment, at T < 55 K the emission is associated with the transition from the lowest vibrational relaxation excited state ³Σ_u⁺, while at T 60 K from the term ¹Σ_u⁺. Spectral redistribution of intensities in the 60–150 K range is due to an increase in the rate of vibrational relaxation in the state ¹Σ_u⁺ with increasing the crystal temperature.

X-ray emission Mv and NII,III bands of niobium and molybdenum

The electronic structure and the soft x-ray spectra of niobium and molybdenum have been calculated. The obtained agreement between the theoretical and experimental spectra made it possible to interpret the M_V and N_II,III emission bands of niobium and molybdenum. The x-ray emission bands from different series can be used to judge the wave functions of valence band electrons and thus to evaluate the accuracy of the band-structure calculation.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 103–106, August, 1973.

High-order harmonic generation from solid targets with 2 mJ pulses

Harmonics up to the 18th order are generated from solid targets by focusing 2 mJ, 50 fs pulses at 800 nm to a spot size of 1.7 μm (FWHM). To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of high-harmonic generation with a very short focal length paraboloid (f/1.4) and kilohertz laser system. The harmonics have a low divergence (<4°) compared to the driving beam and conversion efficiencies (>10(-7) per harmonic) comparable to gas harmonics. No contrast enhancement techniques are employed, and the system is capable of operating at 500 Hz.

Stimulated emission of x-rays from plasmas generated by short-pulse-laser-heating of solid targets

The problem of heating of a solid target to generate a nonequilibrium plasma by subnanosecond laser pulses is considered. For an appreciable absorption of energy from a Nd-glass laser, the critical density of the electrons in the plasma turns out to be 10²¹ cm⁻³. These electrons can be heated up to 10⁷ K or more by using pulses of about 10 picosecond duration and absorbed energy flux of the order of 10²¹ erg cm⁻² sec⁻¹. Starting from neutral atoms in a solid with a high atomic number, e.g., Z=26, for times in the picosecond regime the relevant rate equations are solved analytically to predict densities of the atoms at different ionization levels. It is shown that during such a short time the population density of the ions isoelectronic to neon builds up to a very large amount. This in turn leads to the population inversion in the 4s → 3p soft x-ray laser transition, via the electron-impact excitation of the 4s level of the isoelectronic neon ion. For the effective pumping times of the order of 5 picoseconds, a gain of the order of 10² db cm⁻¹ is predicted for the laser transition in Fe XVII, Co XVIII or Cu XX.     

X-ray production by irradiation of solid targets with sub-picosecond excimer laser pulses

A table-top excimer laser system generating sub-ps pulses was used to irradiate solid targets at intensities of up to 4×10¹⁵ W/cm². Soft X-ray spectra of various materials were measured. The X-ray conversion efficiencies were between 1–5%. Streak camera measurements showed instrument-limited X-ray pulse duration of a few ps.Partially based on the plenary talk X-Ray Generation by Sub-Picosecond UV Laser by F. P. Schäfer, G. Kühnle, S.

光电离过程中Fe靶和V靶特征辐射的角相关研究

在发射角120°—170°的范围内,应用硅漂移探测器以10°为间隔对中心能量为13.1 keV的韧致辐射诱发Fe靶和V靶发射的典型K系X射线光谱进行了测量.得到特征X射线Kα和Kβ的特征谱线,考虑探测器对特征X射线的探测效率、靶对入射光子和出射光子吸收的校准及大气对特征X射线的吸收后,结果显示不同探测角度下Kβ与Kα的强度比为一常数.将本次实验探测角度为150°时的Kβ/Kα强度比值的实验值、理论计算值和Ertuğral的实验结果进行对比,发现实验结果与预期相符.对比不同探测角度下的强度比变化趋势推断特征X射线的角度依赖关系,分析认为Kα和Kβ在探测范围内是各向同性发射的.     

Femtosecond X-ray line emission from multilayer targets irradiated by short laser pulses

The invention of high-power, ultra-short-pulse lasers has opened the way to investigations aimed at the creation of a new type of bright X-ray source for various uses including material science applications and time-resolved X-ray diffraction for biology. The efficiency with which laser energy incident on a solid target is converted into an X-ray emission depends on many factors, including the temporal profile of the laser pulse. Here we report the results of our theoretical and experimental investigations of the line X-ray emission from layered solid targets irradiated by ultra-short laser pulses. The laser prepulse parameters and target thickness are optimized to convert the maximum laser energy into an emission in the selected X-ray line. Multilayer foils are proposed to increase the energy of the K-line emission from laser plasma while simultaneously keeping the X-ray pulse duration at a hundred femtoseconds. The emission is studied both experimentally and theoretically by means of an analytical model and numerical simulations. PACS 52.38.Ph; 52.38.Dx; 52.50.Jm

Undulators and generation of X-ray pulses in free-electron lasers with self-amplified spontaneous emission

The results of theoretical examination and comparative analysis of synchrotron radiation sources (specifically, undulators and X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs)) are presented. The problem of generation of shorter radiation pulses is prioritized; undulator systems and their corresponding FELs, which are considered to be the most promising in terms of generation of high-frequency ultrashort pulses of such radiation (in particular, in the X-ray range) are studied. The possibility of generation of higher harmonics is explored. The advantages and disadvantages of single-pass (with no reflecting elements) and multi-pass (with mirrors) FEL lasing schemes are revealed. The potential to reduce the duration of laser pulses produced by undulators and FELs and use them as sources of femtosecond pulses is investigated. The prospects for further development of X-ray free-electron lasers and the ways to improve the quality of their radiation with the given parameters are discussed.
