The Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction technique (CBED) has been applied to determine the lattice strain in Sii-xGez/Si heterostructures and below patterned films on silicon substrates. The well known problem of the stress relaxation which occurs m thinned TEM samples has been overcome, m the case of the heterostructures, by applying the isotropic elasticity theory to the lattice constants me...

The impact of decreased zone height on the focal properties of hard X-ray Bragg-Fresnel zone plates has been studied by numerical simulation. Decreased zone height allows for smaller zone widths and, although the efficiency of the lens is decreased, the signal-to-background ratio in the focal plane of the lens remains at a comparatively high level. This is distinct from an analogous case of ord...

Circularly polarized X-rays produced by a diamond X-ray phase retarder of thickness 0.5 mm in the Laue transmission configuration have been used for recording X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) on the bending-magnet beamline BM25A (SpLine) at the ESRF. Field reversal and helicity reversal techniques have been used to carry out the measurements. The performance of the experimental set-up h...

The B domains of dengue virus serotypes 1 to 4 were expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified proteins were applied to immunoblot strips to detect serotype-specific antibodies in paired serum samples from 41 patients with primary and secondary dengue infections. A close correlation between the results obtained with the immunoblot strips and by type-specific reverse transcription-PCR (T. Laue,...

A RATIO method for analysis of intensity changes in time-resolved pump-probe Laue diffraction experiments is described. The method eliminates the need for scaling the data with a wavelength curve representing the spectral distribution of the source and removes the effect of possible anisotropic absorption. It does not require relative scaling of series of frames and removes errors due to all bu...
