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.

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
HYBRID simulations of diffraction-limited focusing with Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors for a next-generation In Situ hard X-ray nanoprobe

Journal Article Maser, Jorg ; Shi, Xianbo ; Reininger, Ruben ; ... - Metallurgical and Materials Transactions. A, Physical Metallurgy and Materials Science

Next-generation hard X-ray nanoprobe beamlines such as the In Situ Nanoprobe (ISN) beamline being planned at the Advanced Photon Source aim at providing very high spatial resolution while also enabling very high focused flux, to study complex materials and devices using fast, multidimensional imaging across many length scales. The ISN will use diffractive optics to focus X-rays with a bandpass of ΔE/E = 10 ^–4 into a focal spot of 20 nm or below. Reflective optics in Kirkpatrick-Baez geometry will be used to focus X-rays with a bandpass as large as ΔE/E = 10 ^–2 into a focal spot ofmore »« 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).

A combined Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror and multilayer lens for sub-10 nm x-ray focusing

Journal Article Ruhlandt, A ; Krueger, S P ; Osterhoff, M ; ... - AIP Advances

We have used a combined optical system of a high gain elliptic Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror system (KB) and a multilayer Laue lens (MLL) positioned in the focal plane of the KB for hard x-rays nano-focusing. The two-step focusing scheme is based on a high acceptance and high gain elliptical mirror with moderate focal length and a MLL with ultra-short focal length. Importantly, fabrication constraints, i.e. in mirror polishing and bending, as well as MLL deposition can be significantly relaxed, since (a) the mirror focus in the range of 200-500 nm is sufficient, and (b) the number of layers of the MLLmore »« less

Long-Working-Distance Kirkpatrick-Baez Mirrors for Hard X-ray Beamlines at SPring-8

Journal Article Yumoto, H ; Koyama, T ; Hirata, K ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We designed and installed two types of long-working-distance Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) mirrors and mirror manipulators, which were customized into each experiment for hard x-ray undulator beamlines at SPring-8. For the BL32XU RIKEN Targeted Proteins beamline, 400-mm-long KB focusing mirrors for a beam size of 1 {mu}m with a 730-mm-long working distance were designed for carrying out the structural analysis of protein microcrystals. We realized a focusing beam size of 0.9x0.9 {mu}m{sup 2}(FWHM) and a focusing intensity of 6x10{sup 10} (photons/s) at an x-ray energy of 12.4 keV. For the BL19LXU RIKEN SR Physics beamline, we developed KB mirrors for 100-nm focusingmore »« less
