Effect of Fresnel diffraction in X-ray micrography

Characterizing the hard x-ray diffraction properties of a GaAs linear Bragg–Fresnel lens

We investigated the diffractive focusing properties of ~111! GaAs linear Bragg–Fresnel lenses ~BFLs! developed for hard x-ray microscopy and microdiffraction of complex materials in confined geometries. We demonstrated that the use of GaAs yields significant processing advantages due to the reduced zone depth. Focal plane diffraction patterns of linear BFLs measured at the advanced photon sourc...

Multiband imaging at the diffraction limit using Fresnel x-ray telescopes

Coherent X-ray beam metrology using 2D high-resolution Fresnel-diffraction analysis.

Direct metrology of coherent short-wavelength beamlines is important for obtaining operational beam characteristics at the experimental site. However, since beam-time limitation imposes fast metrology procedures, a multi-parametric metrology from as low as a single shot is desirable. Here a two-dimensional (2D) procedure based on high-resolution Fresnel diffraction analysis is discussed and app...

Introducing an Optimized Method for Obtaining X-ray Diffraction Patterns of Biological Tissues

Introduction Individual X-Ray diffraction patterns of biological tissues are obtained via interference of coherent scattering with their electrons. Many scientists have distinguished normal and cancerous breast tissue, bone density, and urinary stone types using the X-Ray diffraction patterns resulting from coherent scattering. The goal of this study was to introduce an optimized method for obt...

X-ray diffraction.

where the peak shapes were described by a pseudo-Voigt function and the background was modeled with an 6-term polynomial. Additionally, the PXRD patterns obtained at room temperature and 100 K were analyzed by Le Bail refinement using the GSAS and EXPGUI software, 2,3 where the peak shapes were described by a pseudo-Voigt function (CW profile function 3) and the background was modeled with an 4...
