Soft-x-ray damage to p-terphenyl coatings for detectors
Abstract:
The organic phosphor p-terphenyl is used as a wavelength-converter coating in some soft-x-ray detectors. We have measured the absolute photoluminescent efficiency of p-terphenyl as a function of incident photon energy from 36 to 191 eV. We have also measured changes in the efficiency caused by soft-x-ray fluence (total photons absorbed per unit area) at several photon energies in this range. We find that efficiency drops rapidly as a function of fluence, with the rate of decrease increasing with higher soft x-ray energies.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
