Title: Using refractive lenses to provide a variable spot size for Kirkpatrick–Baez mirrors

Abstract

For many X-ray microprobe experiments it is desirable to be able to vary the beam size: using large beams for survey scans and a small beam for the final measurements. Beryllium refractive lenses were found to be a simple and controllable method for enlarging the focus in a Kirkpatrick–Baez-based microprobe. They can provide variable spot size, can be quickly inserted or removed and do not move the beam center on the sample.

Kirkpatrick--Baez microprobe on the basis of two linear single crystal Bragg--Fresnel lenses

Journal Article Bonse, U ; Riekel, C ; Snigirev, A A - Review of Scientific Instruments; (United States)

X-ray microprobe on the basis of two linear single crystal phase Bragg--Fresnel lenses in Kirkpatrick--Baez geometry has been suggested and realized for hard x rays. The Kirkpatrick--Baez optics has been tested by two-dimensional imaging the x-ray source spot of a conventional sealed-off x-ray tube with Cu target ({lambda}=1.54 A). The possibility of applying this kind of microprobe at a synchrotron radiation source is discussed.

Kirkpatrick-Baez super mirror optics for intense neutron microbeams.

Conference Ice, G E ; Hubbard, C R ; Pang, J W. L. ; ...

High-performance neutron super mirrors in the Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) geometry can efficiently focus polychromatic neutron beams to small spots. We have recently demonstrated near ideal performance with a prototype system designed to produce broad-bandpass neutron beams less than 100 {mu}m in size with wavelengths between 0.8 and 1.4 {angstrom}. We describe the design criteria for the prototype system, and show that for thermal neutrons and typical beamline distances, optical aberrations and gravitational dispersion are negligible. We also describe ways to improve the performance of KB optics and techniques to extend the advantages of KB supermirror optics to long wavelength neutrons (4-6more »« less

Micro-focusing 4 KeV to 65 KeV x-rays with bent Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors

Book Eng, P J ; Rivers, M ; Yang, B X ; ...

The authors present the test results of micro-focusing a continuous spectrum (4 KeV--65 KeV) of x-rays using two, 100 mm long, actively bent mirrors in a Kirkpatrick-Baez geometry. The mirrors are figured by applying in situ two different moments on the ends resulting in a surface figure that approximates an ellipse. They have demonstrated the ability to doubly focus NSLS bending magnet x-rays from 4 KeV to 13 KeV to a spot size less than 4 microns in diameter with a net gain of 2,000 over a similar size beam produced with slits. In the bending magnet test the beammore »« less
Short focal length Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors for a hard x-ray nanoprobe

Journal Article Wenjun, Liu ; Ice, Gene E ; Tischler, Jonathan Z ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

We describe progress in the fabrication of short-focal-length total-external-reflection Kirkpatrick-Baez x-ray mirrors with ultralow figure errors. The short focal length optics produce nanoscale beams (<100 nm) on conventional ({approx}64 m long) beamlines at third generation synchrotron sources. The total-external reflection optics are inherently achromatic and efficiently focus a white (polychromatic) or a tunable monochromatic spectrum of x rays. The ability to focus independent of wavelength allows novel new experimental capabilities. Mirrors have been fabricated both by computer assisted profiling (differential polishing) and by profile coating (coating through a mask onto ultra-smooth surfaces).
