Title: High Brightness, Laser-Driven X-ray Source for Nanoscale Metrology and Femtosecond Dynamics

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/902319· OSTI ID:902319

This project developed and demonstrated a new, bright, ultrafast x-ray source based upon laser-driven K-alpha generation, which can produce an x-ray flux 10 to 100 times greater than current microfocus x-ray tubes. The short-pulse (sub-picosecond) duration of this x-ray source also makes it ideal for observing time-resolved dynamics of atomic motion in solids and thin films.
