Hard x-ray imaging by multilayer zone plates (C12*)

Subject Area Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas
Term from 2015 to 2019
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 28586557
 

Project Description

The main goal of the proposed project is the design, fabrication, and application of multilayer zone plates (MZPs) for two-dimensional hard x-ray imaging with resolutions of 10 nm or below. Using MZPs, we already have demonstrated sub-5 nm point focusing of hard x-rays, and preliminary results show the possibility of high-resolution imaging. Methods developed in the projects C01, C04 and C05 will be joined in this new project C12 to further advance from nano-focusing to high resolution imaging using hard x-rays.
