High-energy X-rays (HEX-rays) between 100 and 300 keV bear unique advantage over conventional hard X-rays, which lie in the range of 5–20 keV [2] They can be listed as follows: High penetration into materials due to a strongly reduced photo absorption cross section.
Artificial X-ray sources Radiopharmaceuticals in radiopharmacology. Radioactive tracer; Brachytherapy; X-ray tube, a vacuum tube that produces X-rays when current flows through it; X-ray laser; X-ray generator, any of various devices using X-ray tubes, lasers, or radioisotopes; Synchrotron, which produces X-rays as synchrotron radiation ...
GREE Electric is a majority state-owned enterprise, primarily by the city of Zhuhai. [9] As of 31 December 2015, the largest shareholder of GREE Electric was GREE Group; it was followed by Hebei Jinghai Investment Guarantee (for 8.91%), China Securities Finance (for 2.99%), Central Huijin Investment (for 1.40%).
Indirect detectors contain a layer of scintillator material, typically either gadolinium oxysulfide or cesium iodide, which converts the x-rays into light. Directly behind the scintillator layer is an amorphous silicon detector array manufactured using a process very similar to that used to make LCD televisions and computer monitors.
X-ray reflectivity, yet another related technique, but here the intensity of the specular reflected beam is measured. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Grazing incidence atom scattering, [ 9 ] [ 10 ] where the fact that atoms (and ions) can also be waves is used to diffract from surfaces.
An X-ray generator generally contains an X-ray tube to produce the X-rays. Possibly, radioisotopes can also be used to generate X-rays. [1]An X-ray tube is a simple vacuum tube that contains a cathode, which directs a stream of electrons into a vacuum, and an anode, which collects the electrons and is made of tungsten to evacuate the heat generated by the collision.
Compared with destructive techniques, e.g. three-dimensional electron backscatter diffraction (3D EBSD), [5] with which the sample is serially sectioned and imaged, 3DXRD and similar X-ray nondestructive techniques have the following advantages: They require less sample preparation, thus limiting the introduction of new structures in the sample.
X-ray generators produce X-rays by applying a high voltage between the cathode and the anode of an X-ray tube and in heating the tube filament to start the electron emission. The electrons are then accelerated in the resulting electric potential and collide with the anode, which is usually made of Tungsten .
