Diamond for high-heat-load synchrotron x-ray applications
- Argonne National Lab., IL (United States)
Synchrotron facilities worldwide provide scientists with useful radiation in the ultraviolet to the x-ray regime. Third-generation synchrotron sources will deliver photon fluxes in the 10{sup 15} photons/s/0.1 %BW range, with brilliance on the order of 10 {sup 18} photons/s/0.1 %BW/mrad{sup 2}/mm{sup 2}. Along with the increase in flux and brilliance is an increase in the power and power densities of the x-ray beam. Depending on the particular insertion device, the x-ray beam can have total power in excess of 10 kW and peak power density of more than 400 W/mm{sup 2}. Such high heat loads are a major challenge in the design and fabrication of x-ray beamline components. The superior thermal and mechanical properties of diamond make it a good candidate as material in these components. Single crystal diamonds can be used as x-ray monochromators, while polycrystalline or CVD diamonds can be used in a variety of ways on the front-end beamline components. This paper will discuss the issues regarding the feasibility of using diamond in third-generation synchrotron beamline components.
