X-ray fluorescence, which is an analytical method for determination of the elemental
composition of bulk material and for characterization of coating systems, has a longtime …

A simple apparatus for achieving beam sizes in the range 5–10 µm on a synchrotron
beamline was implemented in combination with a small 125× 25 µm focus. The resulting …

For the structural characterization of nanoscale objects, X‐ray diffraction is widely used as a
technique complementing local probe analysis methods such as scanning electron …

For acquiring high-contrast and high-brightness images in hard-x-ray optics, Fresnel zone
plates with high aspect ratios (zone height/zone width) have been constantly pursued …

Investigations of complex nanostructured materials used in modern technologies require
special experimental techniques able to provide information on the structure and electronic …

In this Letter, a three-parameter modified Kaiser apodization window is used to modulate the
pinhole density on each ring of hard x-ray photon sieves, analyzing the guided-wave …

This short communication presents a study of the use of an annular X-ray beam produced by
an ellipsoidal single-bounce monocapillary (ESBC) to perform focal construct geometry …

A pre-focused X-ray beam at 12 keV and 9 keV has been used to illuminate a single-bounce
capillary in order to generate a high-flux X-ray microbeam. The BioCAT undulator X-ray …

This chapter presents a summary of micro-focusing optics and methods for X-rays in the
energy range 4–100 keV, as provided by synchrotron radiation sources. The advent of third …
