Synchrotron x-rays are a powerful tool to probe real-time changes in the microstructure of
materials as they respond to an external stimulus, such as phase transformations that take …

High energy X-ray phase contrast tomography is tremendously beneficial to the study of
thick and dense materials with poor attenuation contrast. Recently, the X-ray speckle-based …

Speckle-based at-wavelength metrology techniques now play an important role in X-ray
wavefront measurements. However, for reflective X-ray optics, the majority of existing …

Olivine is a key constituent in the silicate Earth; its composition and texture informs
petrogenetic understanding of numerous rock types. Here we develop a quantitative and …

This thesis presents research on novel X-ray imaging methods that improve the study of
specimens with small density differences, revealing their inner structure and density …

A mathematical description of the dynamics in metallic melts is a complex affair, since,
among other things, the atomic interaction mechanisms in a melt are not fully understood …

This chapter gives an overview of the working principles, state of the art and recent
developments of X-ray speckle-based imaging to establish a background and …

As outlined in the previous chapters, X-ray speckle-based imaging has already seen rapid
development since its first demonstration less than a decade ago. The rising interest and …
