A monolithic Fresnel bimirror for hard X‐rays and its application for coherence measurements

Experiments using a simple X‐ray interferometer to measure the degree of spatial coherence of hard X‐rays are reported. A monolithic Fresnel bimirror is used at small incidence angles to investigate synchrotron radiation in the energy interval 5–50 keV with monochromatic and white beam. The experimental set‐up was equivalent to a Young's double‐slit experiment for hard X‐rays with slit dimensions in the micrometre range. From the high‐contrast interference pattern the degree of coherence was determined.     

Multimodal hard X‐ray imaging of a mammography phantom at a compact synchrotron light source

The Compact Light Source is a miniature synchrotron producing X‐rays at the interaction point of a counter‐propagating laser pulse and electron bunch through the process of inverse Compton scattering. The small transverse size of the luminous region yields a highly coherent beam with an angular divergence of a few milliradians. The intrinsic monochromaticity and coherence of the produced X‐rays can be exploited in high‐sensitivity differential phase‐contrast imaging with a grating‐based interferometer. Here, the first multimodal X‐ray imaging experiments at the Compact Light Source at a clinically compatible X‐ray energy of 21 keV are reported. Dose‐compatible measurements of a mammography phantom clearly demonstrate an increase in contrast attainable through differential phase and dark‐field imaging over conventional attenuation‐based projections.     

Ultrafast switching of hard X‐rays

A new concept for shortening hard X‐ray pulses emitted from a third‐generation synchrotron source down to few picoseconds is presented. The device, called the PicoSwitch, exploits the dynamics of coherent acoustic phonons in a photo‐excited thin film. A characterization of the structure demonstrates switching times of ≤ 5 ps and a peak reflectivity of ～10^?3. The device is tested in a real synchrotron‐based pump–probe experiment and reveals features of coherent phonon propagation in a second thin film sample, thus demonstrating the potential to significantly improve the temporal resolution at existing synchrotron facilities.     

Nanofabrication and characterization of a grating‐based condenser for uniform illumination with hard X‐rays

In the development of full‐field transmission X‐ray microscopy for basic study in science and technology, a condenser capable of providing intense illumination with high uniformity and stability on tested specimens in order to achieve high‐quality images is essential. The latest design of a square‐shaped condenser based on diffractive gratings has demonstrated promising uniformity in illumination. This paper describes in more detail the development of such a beam shaper for hard X‐rays at 10 keV with regard to its design, manufacture and optical characterization. The effect of the grating profile on the diffracted intensity has been theoretically predicted by numerical simulation using the finite‐difference time‐domain method. Based on this, the limitations of the grating‐based condenser are discussed.     

A high‐spatial‐resolution three‐dimensional detector array for 30–200 keV X‐rays based on structured scintillators

A three‐dimensional X‐ray detector for imaging 30–200 keV photons is described. It comprises a set of semi‐transparent structured scintillators, where each scintillator is a regular array of waveguides in silicon, and with pores filled with CsI. The performance of the detector is described theoretically and explored in detail through simulations. Based on available hardware, a spatial resolution of 1 µm is obtainable. The resolution of a single screen is shown to be determined only by the pitch, at least up to 100 keV. In comparison with conventional homogeneous screens, an improvement in efficiency by a factor of 5–15 is obtainable. The cross‐talk between screens in the three‐dimensional detector is shown to be negligible. The three‐dimensional concept enables ray‐tracing and super‐resolution algorithms to be applied.     

Combined measurement of X‐ray photon correlation spectroscopy and diffracted X‐ray tracking using pink beam X‐rays

Combined X‐ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) and diffracted X‐ray tracking (DXT) measurements of carbon‐black nanocrystals embedded in styrene–butadiene rubber were performed. From the intensity fluctuation of speckle patterns in a small‐angle scattering region (XPCS), dynamical information relating to the translational motion can be obtained, and the rotational motion is observed through the changes in the positions of DXT diffraction spots. Graphitized carbon‐black nanocrystals in unvulcanized styrene–butadiene rubber showed an apparent discrepancy between their translational and rotational motions; this result seems to support a stress‐relaxation model for the origin of super‐diffusive particle motion that is widely observed in nanocolloidal systems. Combined measurements using these two techniques will give new insights into nanoscopic dynamics, and will be useful as a microrheology technique.     

Diamond kinoform hard X‐ray refractive lenses: design,nanofabrication and testing

Motivated by the anticipated advantageous performance of diamond kinoform refractive lenses for synchrotron X‐ray radiation studies, this report focuses on progress in designing, nanofabricating and testing of their focusing performance. The method involves using lift‐off and plasma etching to reproduce a planar definition of numerically determined kinoform refractive optics. Tests of the focusing action of a diamond kinoform refractive lens at the APS 8‐ID‐I beamline demonstrate angular control of the focal spot.     

Hard X‐ray phase‐contrast imaging with the Compact Light Source based on inverse Compton X‐rays

The first imaging results obtained from a small‐size synchrotron are reported. The newly developed Compact Light Source produces inverse Compton X‐rays at the intersection point of the counter propagating laser and electron beam. The small size of the intersection point gives a highly coherent cone beam with a few milliradian angular divergence and a few percent energy spread. These specifications make the Compact Light Source ideal for a recently developed grating‐based differential phase‐contrast imaging method.     

More power to X‐rays: New developments in X‐ray spectroscopy

Recent developments in X‐ray spectroscopy in the last decade are reviewed. A specific emphasis is placed on displaying the strong natural connection between X‐ray spectroscopy and materials science. Brief explanations of several X‐ray spectroscopic methods are given. X‐ray spectroscopic instruments such as table‐top X‐ray sources are discussed in detail, whereas those employing synchrotron and other sources are briefly addressed. The spectroscopic methods and results from materials investigations are reviewed according to their positions in a 3D parameter space of time, length, and energy. New experimental measurements on atoms, molecules, nanomaterials, and bulk materials that include insulators, semiconductors, metals and magnetic materials using both static and time‐resolved methods are reviewed.     

Comparative study of multilayers used in monochromators for synchrotron‐based coherent hard X‐ray imaging

A systematic study is presented in which multilayers of different composition (W/Si, Mo/Si, Pd/B₄C), periodicity (from 2.5 to 5.5 nm) and number of layers have been characterized. In particular, the intrinsic quality (roughness and reflectivity) as well as the performance (homogeneity and coherence of the outgoing beam) as a monochromator for synchrotron radiation hard X‐ray micro‐imaging are investigated. The results indicate that the material composition is the dominating factor for the performance. By helping scientists and engineers specify the design parameters of multilayer monochromators, these results can contribute to a better exploitation of the advantages of multilayer monochromators over crystal‐based devices; i.e. larger spectral bandwidth and high photon flux density, which are particularly useful for synchrotron‐based micro‐radiography and ‐tomography.     

A comparison of ionizing radiation damage in CMOS devices from 60Co gamma rays, electrons and protons

Radiation hardened CC4007RH and non-radiation hardened CC4011 devices were irradiated using 80Co gamma rays, 1 MeV electrons and 1--9 MeV protons to compare the ionizing radiation damage of the gamma rays with the charged particles. For all devices examined, with experimental uncertainty, the radiation induced threshold voltage shifts (△Vth) generated by 60Co gamma rays are equal to that of 1 MeV electron and 1-7 MeV proton radiation under 0 gate bias condition. Under 5 V gate bias condition, the distinction of threshold voltage shifts (△Vth) generated by 60Co gamma rays and 1 MeV electrons irradiation are not large, and the radiation damage for protons below 9 MeV is always less than that of 60Co gamma rays. The lower energy the proton has, the less serious the radiation damage becomes.     

Visualization of microvessels by angiography using inverse‐Compton scattering X‐rays in animal models

The fundamental performance of microangiography has been evaluated using the S‐band linac‐based inverse‐Compton scattering X‐ray (iCSX) method to determine how many photons would be required to apply iCSX to human microangiography. ICSX is characterized by its quasi‐monochromatic nature and small focus size which are fundamental requirements for microangiography. However, the current iCSX source does not have sufficient flux for microangiography in clinical settings. It was determined whether S‐band compact linac‐based iCSX can visualize small vessels of excised animal organs, and the amount of X‐ray photons required for real time microangiography in clinical settings was estimated. The iCSX coupled with a high‐gain avalanche rushing amorphous photoconductor camera could visualize a resolution chart with only a single iCSX pulse of ～3 ps duration; the resolution was estimated to be ～500 µm. The iCSX coupled with an X‐ray cooled charge‐coupled device image sensor camera visualized seventh‐order vascular branches (80 µm in diameter) of a rabbit ear by accumulating the images for 5 and 30 min, corresponding to irradiation of 3000 and 18000 iCSX pulses, respectively. The S‐band linac‐based iCSX visualized microvessels by accumulating the images. An iCSX source with a photon number of 3.6 × 10³–5.4 × 10⁴ times greater than that used in this study may enable visualizing microvessels of human fingertips even in clinical settings.

Liquid X‐ray scattering with a pink‐spectrum undulator

X‐ray scattering from a liquid using the spectrum from the undulator fundamental is examined as a function of the bandwidth of the spectrum. The synchrotron‐generated X‐ray spectrum from an undulator is `pink', i.e. quasi‐monochromatic but having a saw‐tooth‐shaped spectrum with a bandwidth from 1 to 15%. It is shown that features in S(q) are slightly shifted and dampened compared with strictly monochromatic data. In return, the gain in intensity is 250–500 which makes pink beams very important for time‐resolved experiments. The undulator spectrum is described by a single exponential with a low‐energy tail. The tail shifts features in the scattering function towards high angles and generates a small reduction in amplitude. The theoretical conclusions are compared with experiments. The r‐resolved Fourier transformed signals are discussed next. Passing from q‐ to r‐space requires a sin‐Fourier transform. The Warren convergence factor is introduced in this calculation to suppress oscillatory artifacts from the finite q_M in the data. It is shown that the deformation of r‐resolved signals from the pink spectrum is small compared with that due to the Warren factor. The q‐resolved and the r‐resolved pink signals thus behave very differently.     

Photon statistics and speckle visibility spectroscopy with partially coherent X‐rays

A new approach is proposed for measuring structural dynamics in materials from multi‐speckle scattering patterns obtained with partially coherent X‐rays. Coherent X‐ray scattering is already widely used at high‐brightness synchrotron lightsources to measure dynamics using X‐ray photon correlation spectroscopy, but in many situations this experimental approach based on recording long series of images (i.e. movies) is either not adequate or not practical. Following the development of visible‐light speckle visibility spectroscopy, the dynamic information is obtained instead by analyzing the photon statistics and calculating the speckle contrast in single scattering patterns. This quantity, also referred to as the speckle visibility, is determined by the properties of the partially coherent beam and other experimental parameters, as well as the internal motions in the sample (dynamics). As a case study, Brownian dynamics in a low‐density colloidal suspension is measured and an excellent agreement is found between correlation functions measured by X‐ray photon correlation spectroscopy and the decay in speckle visibility with integration time obtained from the analysis presented here.     

Spectrometer for hard X‐ray free‐electron laser based on diffraction focusing

X‐ray free‐electron lasers (XFELs) generate sequences of ultra‐short spatially coherent pulses of X‐ray radiation. A diffraction focusing spectrometer (DFS), which is able to measure the whole energy spectrum of the radiation of a single XFEL pulse with an energy resolution of ΔE/E? 2 × 10^?6, is proposed. This is much better than for most modern X‐ray spectrometers. Such resolution allows one to resolve the fine spectral structure of the XFEL pulse. The effect of diffraction focusing occurs in a single‐crystal plate due to dynamical scattering, and is similar to focusing in a Pendry lens made from a metamaterial with a negative refraction index. Such a spectrometer is easier to operate than those based on bent crystals. It is shown that the DFS can be used in a wide energy range from 5 keV to 20 keV.

Utilizing broadband X‐rays in a Bragg coherent X‐ray diffraction imaging experiment

A method is presented to simplify Bragg coherent X‐ray diffraction imaging studies of complex heterogeneous crystalline materials with a two‐stage screening/imaging process that utilizes polychromatic and monochromatic coherent X‐rays and is compatible with in situ sample environments. Coherent white‐beam diffraction is used to identify an individual crystal particle or grain that displays desired properties within a larger population. A three‐dimensional reciprocal‐space map suitable for diffraction imaging is then measured for the Bragg peak of interest using a monochromatic beam energy scan that requires no sample motion, thus simplifying in situ chamber design. This approach was demonstrated with Au nanoparticles and will enable, for example, individual grains in a polycrystalline material of specific orientation to be selected, then imaged in three dimensions while under load.
