Nanometer focusing of hard x rays by phase zone plates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Focusing of 8 keV x rays to a spot size of 150 and 90 nm full width at half maximum have been demonstrated at the firstand third-order foci, respectively, of a phase zone plate ~PZP!. The PZP has a numerical aperture of 1.5 mrad and focusing efficiency of 13% for 8 keV x rays. A flux density gain of 121 000 was obtained at the first-order focus. In this article, the fabrication of the PZP and its experimental characterization are presented and some special applications are discussed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. @S0034-6748~99!02705-7#

Nanometer linear focusing of hard x rays by a multilayer Laue lens.
We report on a type of linear zone plate for nanometer-scale focusing of hard x rays, a multilayer Laue lens (MLL), produced by sectioning a multilayer and illuminating it in Laue diffraction geometry. Because of its large optical depth, a MLL spans the diffraction regimes applicable to a thin Fresnel zone plate and a crystal. Coupled wave theory calculations indicate that focusing to 5 nm or s...
متن کاملMechanical Design of Multiple Fresnel Zone Plates Precision Alignment Apparatus for Hard X-ray Focusing in Twenty-nanometer Scale
Fresnel-zone-plate-based optics is extensively applied for x-ray instruments. At the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), many synchrotron radiation beamlines are using Fresnel zone plates for hard x-ray focusing. However, the efficiency of Fresnel zone plates (FZPs) as focusing optics for x-rays depends on the height of the structures. In the hard x-ray regime, ve...
متن کاملEfficient focusing of 8 keV X-rays with multilayer Fresnel zone plates fabricated by atomic layer deposition and focused ion beam milling
Fresnel zone plates (FZPs) recently showed significant improvement by focusing soft X-rays down to ~10 nm. In contrast to soft X-rays, generally a very high aspect ratio FZP is needed for efficient focusing of hard X-rays. Therefore, FZPs had limited success in the hard X-ray range owing to difficulties of manufacturing high-aspect-ratio zone plates using conventional techniques. Here, employin...

A method to fabricate gold structures with high aspect ratio is presented. Fresnel zone plates with an outermost zone width of 100 nm and structures of 1 lm height are fabricated. Preliminary focusing results at an X-ray energy of 8 keV are presented and ways to improve the zone plate parameters are discussed. 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملThermal stability of tungsten zone plates for focusing hard x-ray free-electron laser radiation
Diffractive Fresnel zone plates made of tungsten show great promise for focusing hard x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) radiation to very small spot sizes. However, they have to withstand the high-intensity pulses of the beam without being damaged. This might be problematic since each XFEL pulse will create a significant temperature increase in the zone plate nanostructures and it is therefore c...
