A metre-length flexible hollow glass fibre with 20 µm-bore and 1.5 mm-cladding diameters for transporting a synchrotron X-ray beam and controlling the trajectory has been examined. The large cladding diameter maintains a moderate curvature to satisfy the shallow glancing angle of total reflection. The observed transmission efficiency was more than 20% at 12.4 keV. As a demonstration, a wide-area scan of a synchrotron radiation beam was performed to identify the elements for a fixed metal film through its absorption spectra.

ABSTRACTDirect observation of diffraction arcs by X-ray from nanoscale precipitates in steels has become possible for the first time by using a highly brilliant and focused synchrotron radiation beam at BL3A of Photon Factory, and also by using an “imaging plate”, a two dimensional X-ray detector which has a wide dynamic range and high sensitivity. For examples, most of the diffraction arcs from ε-Cu precipitates (∼200 Å in diameter and ∼1 at. % in concentration) in Cu-added steels were observed. The method can apply to nondestructive and in-situ observation of creation and growth processes of the precipitates which has close relationships to various physical properties of the matrix steels.

SummaryThe X-ray external total reflection was used for the x-ray fluorescence analysis of the near surface layer of a GaAs wafer and a GaAlAs epilayer. Synchrotron radiation was used as an excitation source. The intensity ratio between the Ga K and As K fluorescence signals was measured as a function of the glancing angle. The reduction of As atoms near the surface of less than a hundred Å was observed for the high temperature annealed GaAlAs epilayer.

IntroductionThe possibility of using synchrotron radiation as a source of X-rays for scattering experiments has considerably improved the methods of the characterisation of the molecular orientation and molecular order in polymers. In another publication [1], it has been shown that the morphology of ultra highly drawn polyethylene is correlated to the kinetics of isothermal melting, as determined by X- ray scattering employing synchrotron radiation. In this paper we present some results on chain orientation and orientation of crystal lamellae surfaces in uniaxially and biaxially drawn films of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET). These results were obtained by inserting a pole figure goniometer into the synchrotron radiation beam and measuring the wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and small angle X- ray scattering (SAXS) with different angles of incidence of the primary beam onto the sample.
