Characterization of Thin Films by Glancing Incidence X-ray Diffraction
Two dimensional materials created ab-initio by the process of condensation of atoms, molecules or ions, called thin films, have unique properties significantly different from the corresponding bulk materials as a result of their physical dimensions, geometry, non-equilibrium microstructure and metallurgy. These characteristic features of thin films can be drastically modified and tailored to ob...
متن کاملFresnel lenses for X-ray and Gamma-ray Astronomy
Phase Fresnel lenses have the same imaging properties as zone plates, but with the possibility of concentrating all of the incident power into the primary focus, increasing the maximum theoretical efficiency from 11% to close to 100%. For X-rays, and in particular for gamma-rays, large, diffraction-limited phase Fresnel lenses can be made relatively easily. The focal length is very long for exa...
متن کاملAn X-ray polarimeter for hard X-ray optics
Development of multi-layer optics makes feasible the use of X-ray telescope at energy up to 60-80 keV: in this paper we discuss the extension of photoelectric polarimeter based on Micro Pattern Gas Chamber to high energy X-rays. We calculated the sensitivity with Neon and Argon based mixtures at high pressure with thick absorption gap: placing the MPGC at focus of a next generation multi-layer ...
متن کاملAdaptive Optics for Astronomy
Adaptive Optics is a prime example of how progress in observational astronomy can be driven by technological developments. At many observatories it is now considered to be part of a standard instrumentation suite, enabling ground-based telescopes to reach the diffraction limit and thus providing spatial resolution superior to that achievable from space with current or planned satellites. In thi...
متن کاملPhase Fresnel Lens Development for X-ray & Gamma-ray Astronomy
Observations in the hard X-ray and gammaray energy regimes are constrained by limited sensitivity and angular resolution. Significant gains could be made if these high-energy photons could be concentrated from a large area onto a small detector element and if diffraction-limited measurements could be obtained. Furthermore, the angular resolution in the gamma-ray band would be superior to that p...
