• Analytical transmission cross-coefficients for pink beam X-ray microscopy based on compound refractive lenses 

      Falch, Ken Vidar; Detlefs, Carsten; Snigirev, Anatoly; Mathiesen, Ragnvald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Analytical expressions for the transmission cross-coefficients for x-ray microscopes based on compound refractive lenses are derived based on Gaussian approximations of the source shape and energy spectrum. The effects of ...
    • Correcting lateral chromatic aberrations in non-monochromatic X-ray microscopy 

      Falch, Ken Vidar; Detlefs, Carsten; Di Michiel, Marco; Snigireva, Irina; Snigirev, Anatoly; Mathiesen, Ragnvald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Lateral chromatic aberration in microscopy based on refractive optics may be reduced significantly by adjustments to the illumination scheme. By taking advantage of a broadened bandwidth illumination, the proposed scheme ...
    • Experimental investigation of Gaussian random phase screen model for x-ray diffusers 

      Falch, Ken Vidar; Detlefs, Carsten; Christensen, Magnus Sebastian; Paganin, David; Mathiesen, Ragnvald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The beam diffusing properties of stacked layers of diffuser material were evaluated experimentally and compared to a Gaussian random phase screen model. The model was found to give promising accuracy in combination with a ...
    • In situ hard X-ray transmission microscopy for material science 

      Falch, Ken Vidar; Casari, Daniele; Di Michiel, Marco; Detlefs, Carsten; Snigirev, Anatoly; Snigireva, Irina; Honkimäki, Veijo; Mathiesen, Ragnvald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Hard X-ray transmission microscopy based on refractive X-ray optics can be employed as a tool in material science to investigate buried-in microstructures in two or three dimensions with spatial resolution approaching 100 ...
    • Quantitative mapping of nanotwin variants in the bulk 

      Schultheiss, Jan; Porz, Lukas; Kodumudi Venkataraman, Lalitha; Höfling, Marion; Yildirim, Can; Cook, Phil; Detlefs, Carsten; Gorfman, Semën; Rödel, Jürgen; Simons, Hugh (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Crystallographic twins are critical to the properties of numerous materials from magnesium alloys to piezoelectrics. Since the onset of the twin formation is highly sensitive to the triaxial mechanical boundary conditions, ...
    • Zernike phase contrast in high-energy x-ray transmission microscopy based on refractive optics 

      Falch, Ken Vidar; Lyubormiskiy, Mikhail; Casari, Daniele; Snigirev, Anatoly; Snigireva, Irina; Detlefs, Carsten; Di Michiel, Marco; Lyatun, Ivan; Mathiesen, Ragnvald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The current work represents the first implementation of Zernike phase contrast for compound refractive lens based x-ray microscopy, and also the first successful Zernike phase contrast experiment at photon energies above ...
