Beamline 10.3.2 at ALS: a hard X-ray microprobe for environmental and materials sciences

M. A. Marcus, A. A. MacDowell, R. Celestre, A. Manceau, T. Miller, H. A. Padmore and R. E. Sublett

Synopsis: Beamline 10.3.2 at the ALS is a hard X-ray microprobe beamline specialized for environmental and materials studies. It produces a 5-17  µm spot with an energy range of 3-17  keV, with which X-ray fluorescence mapping, µEXAFS and µXRD can be performed on the same sample at the same position.

Focusing X-rays with simple arrays of prism-like structures

W. Jark, F. Pérennès, M. Matteucci, L. Mancini, F. Montanari, L. Rigon, G. Tromba, A. Somogyi, R. Tucoulou and S. Bohic

Synopsis: A new X-ray lens composed of two large prisms, each composed of a highly regular structure of smaller prism-like segments, is reported. Prototype lenses produced by deep X-ray lithography with apertures larger than 2  mm focused X-ray beams with 8  keV photon energy in one dimension to a line with a width in the micrometer range.

Theoretical Debye-Waller factors of -MoO₃ estimated by an equation-of-motion method

W.-J. Chun, K. Ijima, Y. Ohminami, S. Suzuki and K. Asakura

Synopsis: EXAFS oscillations of MoO₃ have been calculated using backscattering amplitudes and phase shifts derived from the FEFF8 code and using Debye-Waller factors from an equation-of-motion method. Comparisons were made with polarization-dependent empirical EXAFS data of the -MoO₃ single crystal at various temperatures.
