AbstractX-ray computed tomography (CT) uses absorption profiles from many different viewing directions to reconstruct the two-dimensional distribution of x-ray absorptivity within a slice of the sample. The tunability, high brightness and parallelism of synchrotron radiation are critical to high resolution (0.001mm), high contrast (1%) CT or microtomography. In situ study of samples multiple times during the course of an experiment is exciting to consider.Continuous fiber SiC/Al composites were deformed under three-point bending, and the resulting damage and fiber arrangement were revealed with synchrotron microtomography. Several hundred slices of 0.012 mm thickness were recorded simultaneously using 25 key radiation and a phosphor screen/charge coupled device (CCD) detector. Reconstruction was with the filtered back projection method. Low density regions were observed in the matrix in regions of highest stress where cracking is expected.

A program is under way to develop methods and instrumentation based on charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors for hot plasma diagnostics. We have developed a new X-ray spectrometer in which a freestanding X-ray transmission grating is coupled to a CCD linear array detector with electronic digitized readout replacing film and its wet processing. This instrument measures time-integrated pulsed X-ray spectra with moderate spectral resolution (δλ ≤ 0.6 nm) over a broad spectral range (0.3–2 keV) with high sensitivity, linearity, and large dynamic range. The performance of the device was tested using laser plasma as the X-ray source.

The three-point bending behavior of a single Au nanowire deformed by an atomic force microscope was monitored by coherent X-ray diffraction using a sub-micrometer sized hard X-ray beam. Three-dimensional reciprocal-space maps were recorded before and after deformation by standard rocking curves and were measured by scanning the energy of the incident X-ray beam during deformation at different loading stages. The mechanical behavior of the nanowire was visualized in reciprocal space and a complex deformation mechanism is described. In addition to the expected bending of the nanowire, torsion was detected. Bending and torsion angles were quantified from the high-resolution diffraction data.

X-ray computed tomography technique was used to observe microstructure formation during freeze-drying. A specially designed vacuum freeze-drying stage was equipped at the X-ray CT stage, and the frozen and dried microstructures of dextrin solutions were successfully observed. It was confirmed that the many parts of the pore microstructures formed as a replica of the original ice microstructures, whereas some parts formed as a consequence of the dehydration dependent on the relaxation level of the glassy phases, suggesting that the post-freezing annealing is advantageous for avoiding quality loss that relates to the structural deformation of glassy matters. Keywords: freeze-drying; X-ray CT; ice microstructure; glassy state
