Experiments using high brightness X-rays are on the forefront of science due to the vast
variety of knowledge they can provide. New Synchrotron Radiation (SR) and Free Electron …

We have used coherent X-ray diffraction experiments to characterize both the 1-D and 2-D
foci produced by nanofocusing Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) mirrors, and we find agreement …

A systematic study is presented in which multilayers of different composition (W/Si, Mo/Si,
Pd/B4C), periodicity (from 2.5 to 5.5 nm) and number of layers have been characterized. In …

A new method for beamline simulation combining ray-tracing and wavefront propagation is
described. TheHybrid Method'computes diffraction effects when the beam is clipped by an …

This paper provides a comprehensive overview on the utilization of curved graded multilayer
coatings as focusing elements for hard X‐rays. It concentrates on the Kirkpatrick‐Baez (KB) …

Studies of materials on mesoscopic length‐scales require a penetrating structural probe with
submicron point‐to‐point spatial resolution. The principle research activities at beamline 34 …

The ellipsoidal mirror is an ideal soft X-ray focusing optic that enables achromatic and highly
efficient focusing to a nanometer spot size; however, a high-quality surface is necessary for …

We model and describe the spatial coherence and mutual intensity of focused synchrotron
radiation x-ray beams, based on ensemble averages of stochastic superpositions. Within …

The propagation of a hard X-ray beam from a partially coherent synchrotron source is
simulated by using the novel method based on the coherent mode decomposition of …

An open-source database containing metrology data for X-ray mirrors is presented. It makes
available metrology data (mirror heights and slopes profiles) that can be used with …
