The Italian Panoramic Monochromator

Performance of the Double Multilayer Monochromator

A tunable, double multilayer x-ray monochromator has recently been implemented on the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) X25 wiggler beam line. It is based on a parallel pair of tungsten-boron-carbide multilayer films grown on silicon substrates and purchased from Osmic, Inc. of Troy, Michigan, USA. It acts as an optional alternative to the conventional double silicon crystal monochromato...

The Italian domatic number of a digraph

An {em Italian dominating function} on a digraph $D$ with vertex set $V(D)$ is defined as a function$fcolon V(D)to {0, 1, 2}$ such that every vertex $vin V(D)$ with $f(v)=0$ has at least two in-neighborsassigned 1 under $f$ or one in-neighbor $w$ with $f(w)=2$. A set ${f_1,f_2,ldots,f_d}$ of distinctItalian dominating functions on $D$ with the property that $sum_{i=1}^d f_i(v)le 2$ for each $vi...

Monochromator for Aberration-Corrected STEM

In a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), the elemental analysis at atomic resolution is realized by the combination with electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), since an aberration corrected probe forming lens system enables us to obtain an electron probe sized about 0.1 nm [1]. In EELS, the energy resolution is mainly limited by the energy spread of the electron source, which i...
