3-04 Transient Structures and Imaging with X-Rays
Project coordinators: H. Stiel, M. Wörner
Overview

This project aims at the development and the application of coherent and incoherent laser-based X-ray sources emitting light in the wavelength range between 0.1 and 20 nm. The current applications are time-resolved X-ray diffraction experiments on crystalline solids using a high repetition rate laser produced plasma (LPP) source, X-ray microscopy with a laser produced plasma source in the water window and application of HOPG crystal spectrometer in various fields of X-ray spectroscopy.

Subprojects and collaborations

  • UP1: Investigation of phase transitions and structural dynamics in solids: in the framework of DFG SPP 1134 and in close collaboration with Project 3-02
  • UP2: Instrumentation, generation and application of x-rays from laser-based sources: in close collaboration with Berlin Laboratory of innovative X-Ray Technology (BLiX).

 

 

Recent highlight: Femtosecond X-ray powder diffraction

 

Recent highlight: Laser plasma source for a Laboratoy Transmission X-ray Microscope (LTXM) for the water window.

 

Recent highlight: Berlin Laboratory for innovative X-ray technologies (BLiX)

The MBI participates in building-up a unique Application Laboratory for X-ray technologies at the Technical University (TU) in Berlin. The intention of this Berlin Laboratory for innovative X-ray Technologies (BLiX) is to provide a place for collaborative developments of X-ray technology within the triangle of Knowledge-Education-Innovation.
