High Power Coherent X-Ray Source and Search for X-Ray Laser.

Abstract

Non-divergent 'hot spot' from single crystals bombarded with electron beam from Febetron and Van de Graaff and sealed-off x-ray tube reveals discrete frequencies in bremsstrahlung. Stimulated Kossel line and radiative Auger Raman process have been observed in germanium crystal. Conical target x-ray tube bombarded by electrons at grazing angle give high contrast radiograph of materials and instruments. The observed coherent radiation has been profitably used for surface studies and could be used for development of x-ray holography. (Author)
