Photoelectron spectromicroscopy, the combination of conventional photoelectron spectroscopy and high lateral resolution, is a novel technique that exploits the high brightness of the most recent synchrotron sources. We briefly review its main implementatio ...
The high- and low-temperature forms, i.e., phase I (stable above 328 K) and phase II (stable below 328 K), of Cu8GeSe6 have been investigated by the powder X-ray diffraction method. Cu8GeSe6 II is hexagonal with A = 12.6438(2), C = 11.7570(1) Angstrom, Z = ...
Titanium-containing amorphous hydrogenated carbon films (a-C:H/Ti) have been deposited by a medium-frequency-driven physical vapor deposition plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition process at 40 kHz. Core-level photoelectron spectroscopy and valence-ban ...
A high power radiation source in the THz range with long pulse and narrow line width is required for diagnosing fusion type plasmas by collective Thomson scattering. Gyrotrons currently meet the requirements concerning power, pulse length and line width wh ...
We report results of an angle-resolved high-resolution photoemission study of strongly overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x single crystals with T-c similar to 60 K. We find a nonzero superconducting (SC) gap along all three high symmetry directions in the Brillouin ...
Coherent x-rays are here! This exciting news is a byproduct of the effort to increase the brightness of synchrotron light sources. We discuss the basic issues concerning x-ray coherence, and some of the applications that are already underway - with particu ...
One century after their discovery and first application to radiology, X-rays are finally achieving coherence. The potential impact on radiological imaging is extremely important, with significant social repercussions. These exciting developments are the fi ...
We describe a new pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system that is linked to an angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) chamber at the Synchrotron Radiation Center (SRC) in Wisconsin, USA. We also discuss our first results on epitaxially grown YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) ...
X-ray powder-diffraction measurements performed at the ESRF between 10(-4) and 22 GPa have been used to infer the equations of state (EOS) of both C-12 and C-13 diamonds. The experiments were carried out with a diamond-anvil cell and care was taken to obta ...
Tests performed in different regimes reveal the interplay of two edge-enhancement mechanisms in radiological images taken with coherent synchrotron light. The relative weight of the two mechanisms, related to refraction and to Fresnel edge diffraction, can ...
