X-ray computer tomography (CT) is fast becoming an accepted tool within the materials
science community for the acquisition of 3D images. Here the authors review the current …

This paper describes a tunable X-ray focusing apparatus, referred to as a transfocator,
based on compound refractive lenses. By varying the number of lenses in the beam, the X …

The 3D microstructure around a tin whisker, and its evolution during heat treatment were
studied using scanning 3DXRD. The shape of each grain in the sample was reconstructed …

Over the past two decades, numerous X-ray micro-beam studies have been published
addressing the nondestructive investigation of chemical element distribution in condensed …

For the first time, single-crystal diamond planar refractive lenses have been fabricated by
laser micromachining in 300 µm-thick diamond plates which were grown by chemical …

A new ultra-compact transfocator (UCTF) based on X-ray compound refractive lenses
(CRLs) is presented. The device can be used to change the number of one-and two …

A novel high-energy multi-lens interferometer consisting of 30 arrays of planar compound
refractive lenses is reported. Under coherent illumination each lens array creates a …

A new definition of the effective aperture of the X-ray compound refractive lens (CRL) is
proposed. Both linear (one-dimensional) and circular (two-dimensional) CRLs are …

An unconventional approach is applied for the first time to study the effect of silver
nanoparticles incorporation in plasmonic organic photovoltaic devices. The incorporation of …

A novel high spatial resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction stratigraphy technique has been
applied in-situ to an integrated plasmonic nanoparticle-based organic photovoltaic device …
