    Abstract Differential deposition by DC magnetron sputtering was applied to correct for figure errors of X-ray mirrors to be deployed on low-emittance synchrotron beamlines. During the deposition process, the mirrors were moved in front of a beam-defining aperture and the required velocity profile was calculated using a deconvolution algorithm. The surface figure was characterized using conventional off-line visible-light metrology instrumentation (long trace profiler and Fizeau interferometer) before and after the deposition. WSi

    Abstract This paper presents nanometer-scale production and metrology methods for elliptic-cylindrical x-ray mirrors with an unprecedentedly small tangential radius of curvature of 160 mm. Sub-millimeter-scale figure correction is conducted based on dynamic stencil deposition. The deposition flux through one or two shadow masks is examined by a comparison to a simple model. The masked deposition flux distribution is improved, leading to film thickness profiles that are 50 times sharper in terms of aspect ratio than those obtained using existing differential deposition approaches. Surface roughness deterioration is also effectively suppressed. A 2-mm-long 160-mm-radius mirror is produced with a width of 10 mm and measured using simple interferometry. The results are confirmed by conventional mirror metrology, contact profilometry, and x-ray ptychography. The x-ray focusing profile is diffraction-limited with a 142-nm focus size at a photon energy of 300 eV. The proposed methods have the potential to enhance the ultraprecise fabrication of highly curved mirrors, thus benefiting nanoscale photon-hungry x-ray techniques.

    Abstract Flax fibres are valuable reinforcements for tomorrow's composites. However, defects called kink-bands, which mainly appear on fibres during the extraction and transformation phases, might affect their mechanical properties. Defects induced pores within the kink-band are investigated in this work. They were morphologically explored using synchrotron phase-contrast X-ray microtomography, a technique that displays a sharp 3D representation of the pores. The study highlights the link between kink-bands and secondary cell wall ultrastructure. Pores are organised concentrically around the lumen, and their low thickness suggest that they are located at the interface between cellulose layers within S2 (G) layer. Moreover, the pores inclination with reference to the lumen axis follows the typical microfibrillar angle changes observed in the literature in the kink-band region. The volumes of the pores were measured, and a local increase in porosity was revealed in zones where defects are most severe along the fibre.

    Abstract We describe the development of specific measurement protocols to improve the accuracy of surface metrology of x-ray mirrors using a dedicated commercial instrument based on wavefront sensing techniques. This instrument, SHARPeR, uses measurements from a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor combined with a sub-aperture stitching method to provide two-dimensional maps of the surface slope errors and can measure curved mirrors above 1 m radii. In this paper, we describe the results of measurement methods developed on a SHARPeR system installed at the European Synchrotron (ESRF) to reduce the contribution of systematic errors to measurements of strongly curved spherical and aspherical x-ray mirrors with intrinsic slope errors of the order of 100-200 nrad rms. We demonstrate how this commercial integrated instrument can provide measurements of these mirrors with comparable accuracy to those measured with a long trace profiler.

    Abstract: ... stringent specifications required for X-ray optical components for synchrotron and free-electron laser light ...

    Abstract Optical metrology and polishing techniques are continuously evolving to satisfy the increasingly stringent specifications required for X-ray optical components for synchrotron and free-electron laser light source beamlines. For both spherical and aspherical geometries, the most demanding applications may have target residual figure errors close to 1 nm. To achieve such specifications and maintain them in the optomechanical mount, it is critical to develop methods capable of measuring the topography of the optical surface over the clear aperture of the mirror. The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility optical metrology laboratory has developed a stitching tool initially aimed at measuring long flat mirrors up to 1 m long with a Fizeau interferometer. The system is routinely used providing 2D maps of the optical surface. The instrument capabilities have been extended to characterize moderately curved optics using a transmission flat element, and results obtained on a high quality spherical mirror with 120 m of radius of curvature are presented. As a novel approach of stitching application, the technique has been used to improve the measurement accuracy of the Fizeau interferometer when measuring short plane mirrors. Acquisition of 2D topographies on a short plane mirror by micro-stitching interferometry is also presented and discussed.

    Abstract Encapsulation of active substances in biopolymer beads becomes a widely developed approach to gain efficiency for many applications. However, the characterization of such aqueous materials in their early stage of production is very delicate regarding their textural properties. The classical tools such as gas adsorption and Hg porosimetry can hardly provide relevant information since they require the removal of water, which is yet a fundamental part of the sample that drives its structure. In this article, we used small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) as a tool in order to determine the specific surface area (SSA) of alginate microbeads in solution. This has been made possible by a careful procedure of SAXS measurements, involving calibration samples, allowing writing intensities in absolute units. Therefore, the Porod limit theory was used to calculate the SSA from the scattering length contrast and the measured absolute intensity. In addition, we compared the SSA of microbeads obtained from pure water and from a widely used cell culture medium, and we followed the textural evolution of a water alginate sample during the first step of a gentle drying process. Our results show that SAXS should be considered as a valuable tool for physico-chemists and food formulators in order to extract in situ dimensional and textural information of hydrogels during the formulation. It enables them to figure out the real surface available for the sorption of additive or active molecules in the formulation of biopolymers such as alginates, empowering them to better control encapsulation processes.
