A summary of focusing X ray polycapillary optics is presented including history, theory,
modeling, and applications development. The focusing effects of polycapillary optics come …

Quantitative X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE)
techniques have been developed mostly for the elemental analysis of homogeneous bulk or …

Within the framework of research projects focusing on the sampling and analysis of airborne
particulate matter, Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Energy Dispersive X-ray …

Ion beam analysis (IBA)-and X-ray fluorescence (XRF)-based techniques have been well
adopted in cultural-heritage-related analytical studies covering a wide range of diagnostic …

Capillary X-ray optics is versatile, and it can be used with synchrotron radiation source,
conventional X-ray source, laser-plasma ultrafast X-ray source, and so forth. Recently, the …

Metamaterials provide a challenge for materials analysis, as large-scale 3D geometries
confound traditional methods. X-ray optics that allow for novel beam geometries and for …

A laboratory confocal micro-X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer based on polycapillary X-
ray optics (PXRO) was proposed to carry out the quantitative XRF analysis of single aerosol …

In the present work, the influence of the secondary fluorescence enhancement in confocal X-
ray microscopy analysis is studied when stratified type of materials are examined. Through a …

We have measured the elemental concentrations in aerosols with a 2-h time resolution in
two different types of working environment: a chemistry laboratory dealing with the …

We report the fabrication and characterization of lithographically-fabricated arrays of micron-
scale collimating channels, arranged like spokes around a single source position, for use in …
