    • Investigation of `glitches' in the energy spectrum induced by single-crystal diamond compound X-ray refractive lenses 

      Zhang, Qiuyuan; Polikarpov, Maxim; Klimova, Nataliya; Larsen, Helge Bøvik; Mathiesen, Ragnvald; Emerich, Hermann; Thorkildsen, Gunnar; Snigireva, Irina; Snigirev, Anatoly (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      Single-crystal diamond stands out among all the candidate materials that could be exploited to fabricate compound refractive lenses (CRLs) owing to its extremely stable properties. Among all related experimental features, ...
    • Investigation of glitches induced by single-crystal diamond compound refractive lenses based on crystal orientation 

      Zhang, Qiuyuan; Polikarpov, Maxim; Nataliya, Klimova; Larsen, Helge Bøvik; Mathiesen, Ragnvald; Emerich, Hermann; Thorkildsen, Gunnar; Snigireva, Irina; Snigirev, Anatoly (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Single-crystal diamond is considered as an ideal material for compound refractive lenses (usually abbreviated to “CRLs”) mainly due to its stability when bathed in strong X-ray radiation. Since CRLs come into operation by ...
