X-ray Stress Measurement of Nickel-base Single Crystal Superalloy Using Two-dimensional Detector

The stress in a single crystal of nickel-base superalloy with 72 % volume fraction of '-phase was measured by the X-ray method. The specimen whose surface normal was parallel to [001] direction was oscillated around -axis during recording of the X-ray diffraction pattern with a two-dimensional position sensitive proportional counter (PSPC). The stress was determined from the measured strain u...

Development of a two-dimensional virtual-pixel X-ray imaging detector for time-resolved structure research.

An interpolating two-dimensional X-ray imaging detector based on a single-photon counter with gas amplification by GEM (gas electron multiplier) structures is presented. The detector system can be used for time-resolved structure research down to the micro s time domain. The prototype detector has been tested at the SAXS (small-angle X-ray scattering) beamline at ELETTRA synchrotron light sourc...

High Resolution Two-dimensional Near Field Images of Neon-like Soft X-ray Lasers

We discuss high resolution two-dimensional near-field images of the neon-like nickel and germanium x-ray laser. The Asterix iodine laser, using a prepulse 5.23 ns before the main pulse, was used to irradiate slab targets. Our imaging diagnostic consisted of a concave multilayer mirror that imaged the x-ray laser line (with a magnification of ten) onto a backside illuminated x-ray CCD detector. ...

CdZnTe detector in diagnostic x-ray spectroscopy.

A method to utilize CdZnTe (CZT) detectors in diagnostic x-ray spectroscopy is described in this article. Spectral distortion due to transmission of primary x rays, the escape of cadmium- and tellurium-K fluorescent x rays, and tailing was severe in measured x-ray spectra. Therefore, correction for the distortion was performed with the stripping method using response functions. The response fun...
