The compound refractive X-ray lens (CRL) for focusing hard X-rays is investigated to determine the parameters such as the focal length, the focal spot size, and spatial distribution at the focal spot using a simple theoretical calculations and CRLs fabricated by the self-assembly method. The number of individual compound lenses are defined for the given focal length of 1 m. The X-ray energy of 1 to 40 keV is used in the calculations. The CRL for focusing hard X-rays which generated from the X-ray tube is fabricated by nanoparticle-polymer composite in the form of circular concaves. The self-assembly method is applied to form the nanoaluminum-poly (methly meth-acrylate) composite and carbon-polymer composite CRL lenses. Aluminum nanoparticles of 100 nm and carbon microparticles are diffused in the polymer solution then the high gravity up to 6000G is applied in it to form the concave lens shape. X-ray energy at 8 keV is used for characterization of the composite CRLs. The FWHM of intensity for the fabricated nanoaluminium composite CRL system, N=10 is measured as 1.8 mm, which would give about $70{\mu}m$ in FWHM at 1 m of the focal length.

텅스텐 타겟인 양극의 각도에 의존하는 X-선관 집속관의 전자빔 초점 크기를 오페라-3차원/스칼라(OPERA-3D/SCALAR) 프로그램을 이용하여 구하였다. 시뮬레이션 분석은 X-선관을 음극과 양극 그리고 4영역을 나누어 유한요소법을 적용하였다. X-선 집속관의 필라멘트로부터 방출되는 열전자 궤적은 전자밀도 분포함수에 따라 양극에 도달할 때 실초점으로 집속되고 양극에 부딪쳐서 유효 초점 크기로 X-선을 발생하게 된다. 전자빔 실초점 크기는 X-선 집속관 모양을 결정짓는 폭, 길이, 높이를 조절하여 줄일 수 있었고, 양극각도의 크기에 따라 미세하게 변하였다. 양극각도가 $10^{\circ}{\sim}17^{\circ}$에서는 전자빔 실초점 크기를 $70{\mu}m$ 이내로 유지하였고, 가장 최소 초점크기는 $15^{\circ}$에서 실초점 크기가 $40{\mu}m$로 나타났다. 최적화된 X-선 집속관의 변수들로 시뮬레이션하는 열전자의 방출 궤적을 분석하여 얻은 마이크로 크기인 실초점을 활용하는 새로운 의료 영상진단기기 개발이 가능할 것으로 보여진다.

Fresnel zone plates have been widely used in many applications, such as x-ray telescopes, microfluorescence, and microimaging. To obtain an x-ray Fresnel zone plate, many fabrication methods, such as electron-beam etching, ion-beam etching and chemical etching, have been developed. Fresnel zone plates fabricated by these methods will inevitably lead to some nonideal factors, which have an impact on the focusing characteristics of the zone plate. In this paper, the influences of these nonideal factors on the focusing characteristics of the zone plate are studied systematically, by numerical simulations based on scalar diffraction theory. The influence of the thickness of a Fresnel zone plate on the absolute focusing efficiency is calculated for a given incident x-ray's wavelength. The diffraction efficiency and size of the focal spot are calculated for different incline angles of the groove. The simulations of zone plates without struts, with regular struts, and with random struts are carried out, to study the effects of struts on the focusing characteristics of a zone plate. When a Fresnel zone plate is used to focus an ultrashort x-ray pulse, the effect of zone-plate structure on the final pulse duration is also discussed.

This study describes the conceptual design of a soft x-ray microscope system based on a laserbased source for biomedical application with high resolution (${\leq}$50nm). The laboratory scale soft x-ray microscope consists of high power laser plasma x-ray source and grazing incidence mirrors with high reflectivity. The laser plasma source used for developing this system employs Q-switched Nd-YAG pulsed laser. The laser beam is focused on a tantalum (Ta) target. The Wolter type I mirror was used as condenser optics for sample illumination and as objective mirror for focusing on a detector. The fabrication of the Wolter type I mirror was direct internal cutting using ultraprecision DTM. A hydrated biological specimen was put between the two silicon wafers, the center of which was $Si_3N_4$ windows of 100㎚ thickness. The main issues in the future development work are to make a stable, reliable and reproducible x-ray microscope system.

경 X선 형광분석 기법에 사용되는 X선 튜브는 X선의 휘도가 낮아 분석의 정밀도가 떨어지고 분석 시간 또한 오래 걸린다. 모세관 집광소자를 이용하면 X선 휘도의 이득(gain)을 최소 10 이상 얻을 수가 있다. 모세관 광학소자는 8.4keV의 텅스텐 특성방사선을 효율적으로 집광할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 파이렉스 유리로 된 모세관 모재를 풀러(puller)를 이용하여 45 g의 추에 $650^{\circ}$의 온도를 가하여 모세관 광학소자를 제작하였다. 모세관 광학소자의 제작은 총 460분이 소요되었으며 제작된 모세관 광학소자의 길이는 87 mm, X선 입사부의 직경은 300 ${\mu}m$, 출구부의 직경은 192 ${\mu}m$로 제작되었다. 제작된 모세관 광학소자를 경 X선 형광분석에 적용하면 황(S)과 같은 경원소 검출의 정밀도를 높일 수 있을 것이다.
