Small Angle X-Ray Scattering Summer '07 at CLS Peter Chen Chithra Karunakaran & Konstantine Kaznatcheev
to provide an alternative imaging technique to STXM : to understand structural information of sample Purpose (Feser/Jacobsen) (Miao, Charalambous, Kirz, Sayre, Nature 400, 342 (1999))
Reconstruction diffraction pattern hologram image SEM image of letters, fabricated by gold dots, (100 nm in diameter each); diffraction pattern (middle) and reconstructed image (Miao, Charalambous, Kirz, Sayre, Nature 400, 342 (1999)). Only intensity is obtained, phase information is lost.
Purpose Mie polar diagrams • to image smaller samples • to test stability and integrity of the optics and the microscope small x=pa/l large
Tasks: create software determine camera setup in the STXM experimentation take data with respect to different variables orientation geometry nature of samples Tasks Andor Vacuum supported CCD. 512 x 512 12.3 x 12.3 mm
Software Visual Basic .NET 2003 Requirements basic: single imaging, video, exposure settings, etc. long exposure aXis readable data and header output beamline read and control Software
Mechanics • Implementation • external placement
SAXS camera OSA sample 1st order beam detector focus zone plate incident beam scattered wave
Scans on the Mesh x x x Exposure: 100 secEnergy: 710 eV
Change in Focus • Defocusing of beam by 10 um by 30 um
Change in Energy Energy: 709 eV Energy: 705 eV Energy: 703 eV
Change in Slit Size 50 um x 50 um slit size 20 um x 20 um slit size 100 um x 100 um slit size 10 um x 10 um slit size
Consistency • Iron Particles Exposure: 100 secEnergy: 710 eV Background Corrected 10 nm particle.
