- X-Ray Techniques:
Over 24 years experience using synchrotron radiation. Time-resolved resonance and time-averaged nonresonance X-ray diffraction of partially ordered systems including Self Assembled Monolayers, Langmuir-Blodgett films, and protein multilayer films and vectorially oriented protein monolayers. Fiber diffraction. X-ray holography/interferometry. Grazing incidence X-ray scattering from monolayer and multilayer films on solid and liquid substrates (Langmuir monolayers). Time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy of photolabial systems. Determination of rocking curves width, crystallographic orientation of Si ingots and wafers, and x-ray topography for monochromator crystals.
X-Ray Sensitive Detectors:
CCD, SIT, FUJI Imaging plates, X-ray film, 1- and 2-dimensional gas filled, proportional wire counters, transmission and fluorescence ion chambers, energy resolving Ge-detector arrays, PIN photodiodes, scintillation based detectors. Integrating and single photon counting electronics.
X-Ray Optics:
Over 20 years experience in the design of x-ray optics for high brilliance x-ray generators, 2nd and 3rd generation synchrotron radiation sources. Constant exit height, cryogenically cooled, double crystal monochromators, sagittally focusing monochromators. X-ray mirrors for harmonic rejection and focusing. Fresnel Zone Plates.
