چکیده

Time-delayed, narrow-band echoes generated by forward Bragg diffraction of an X-ray pulse by a perfect thin crystal are exploited for self-seeding at hard X-ray free-electron lasers. Theoretical predictions indicate that the retardation is strictly correlated to a transverse displacement of the echo pulses. This article reports the first experimental observation of the displaced echoes. The displacements are in good agreement with simulations relying on the dynamical diffraction theory. The echo signals are characteristic for a given Bragg reflection, the structure factor and the probed interplane distance. The reported results pave the way to exploiting the signals as an online diagnostic tool for hard X-ray free-electron laser seeding and for dynamical diffraction investigations of strain at the femtosecond timescale.

Solution of the phase problem in the theory of structure determination of crystals from x-ray diffraction experiments.

We present a solution to a long-standing basic problem encountered in the theory of structure determination of crystalline media from x-ray diffraction experiments; namely, the problem of determining phases of the diffracted beams.

Perfect Crystals in the Asymmetric Bragg Geometry as Optical Elements for Coherent X-ray Beams.

Perfect crystals in the asymmetric Bragg geometry are evaluated as optical elements for manipulating coherent X-ray beams. Such optics can be used to modify the transverse coherence length of a synchrotron X-ray beam, with the intention of increasing the usable coherent flux. The wavelength range, angular divergence and flux of X-rays passing through a pinhole aperture are examined in detail, a...

Time-Resolved Measurement of the ATP-Dependent Motion of the Group II Chaperonin by Diffracted Electron Tracking.

Previously, we demonstrated the ATP-dependent dynamics of a group II chaperonin at the single-molecule level by diffracted X-ray tracking (DXT). The disadvantage of DXT is that it requires a strong X-ray source and also perfect gold nano-crystals. To resolve this problem, we developed diffracted electron tracking (DET). Electron beams have scattering cross-sections that are approximately 1000 t...

Forward Diffracted Parametric X Radiation From a Thick Tungsten Single Crystal at 855 MeV Electron Energy

Features of forward diffracted Parametric X-Radiation (PXR) were investigated at experiments with the 855 MeV electron beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI employing a 410 μm thick tungsten single crystal. Virtual photons from the electron field are diffracted by the (101̄) plane at a Bragg angle of 3.977. Forward emitted radiation was analyzed at an energy of 40 keV with the (111) lattice planes of...
