On the use of multilayer Laue lenses with X-ray Free Electron Lasers

Mauro Prasciolu, Kevin T. Murray, Nikolay Ivanov +34

Multilayer Laue lenses were used for the first time to focus x-rays from an X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL). In an experiment, which was performed at the European XFEL, we demonst…

Ptychographic X-ray Speckle Tracking with Multi Layer Laue Lens Systems

Andrew James Morgan, Kevin T. Murray, Mauro Prasciolu +19

The ever-increasing brightness of synchrotron radiation sources demands improved x-ray optics to utilise their capability for imaging and probing biological cells, nano-devices, an…

X-ray diffractive imaging of controlled gas-phase molecules: Toward imaging of dynamics in the molecular frame

Thomas Kierspel, Andrew Morgan, Joss Wiese +25

We report experimental results on the diffractive imaging of three-dimensionally aligned 2,5-diiodothiophene molecules. The molecules were aligned by chirped near-infrared laser pu…

Continuous Diffraction of Molecules and Disordered Molecular Crystals

Henry N. Chapman, Oleksandr M. Yefanov, Kartik Ayyer +6

The diffraction pattern of a single non-periodic compact object, such as a molecule, is continuous and is proportional to the square modulus of the Fourier transform of that object…

Femtosecond x-ray diffraction from an aerosolized beam of protein nanocrystals

Salah Awel, Richard A. Kirian, Max O. Wiedorn +22

We demonstrate near-atomic-resolution Bragg diffraction from aerosolized single granulovirus crystals using an x-ray free-electron laser. The form of the aerosol injector is nearly…

Strongly aligned gas-phase molecules at Free-Electron Lasers

Thomas Kierspel, Joss Wiese, Terry Mullins +27

We demonstrate a novel experimental implementation to strongly align molecules at full repetition rates of free-electron lasers. We utilized the available in-house laser system at…
