Imaging of the Bragg reflected x-ray beam is proposed and validated as an in-situ method for characterization of performance of double-crystal monochromators under the heat load of intense synchrotron radiation. A sequence of images is collected at different angular positions on the reflectivity curve of the second crystal and analyzed. The method provides rapid evaluation of the wavefront of the exit beam, which relates to local misorientation of the crystal planes along the beam footprint on the thermally distorted first crystal. The measured misorientation can be directly compared to results of finite element analysis. The imaging method offers an additional insight on the local intrinsic crystal quality over the footprint of the incident x-ray beam.

The Fourier inversion of phased coherent diffraction patterns offers images without the resolution and depth-of-focus limitations of lens-based tomographic systems. We report on our recent experimental images inverted using recent developments in pha
se retrieval algorithms, and summarize efforts that led to these accomplishments. These include ab-initio reconstruction of a two-dimensional test pattern, infinite depth of focus image of a thick object, and its high-resolution (~10 nm resolution) three-dimensional image. Developments on the structural imaging of low density aerogel samples are discussed.
Using higher-order coherence of thermal light sources, the resolution power of standard x-ray imaging techniques can be enhanced. In this work, we applied the higher-order measurement to far-field x-ray diffraction and near-field phase contrast imagi
ng (PCI), in order to achieve superresolution in x-ray diffraction and obtain enhanced intensity contrast in PCI. The cost of implementing such schemes is minimal compared to the methods that achieve similar effects by using entangled x-ray photon pairs.
Diffraction imaging of non-equilibrium dynamics at atomic resolution is becoming possible with X-ray free-electron lasers. However, there are unresolved problems with applying this method to objects that are confined in only one dimension. Here I sho
w that one-dimensional coherent diffraction imaging is possible by splicing together images recovered from different delays in a time-resolved experiment. This is used to image the time and space evolution of antiferromagnetic order in a complex oxide heterostructure from measurements of a resonant soft X-ray diffraction peak. Mid-infrared excitation of the substrate is shown to lead to a magnetic front that propagates at a velocity exceeding the speed of sound, a critical observation for the understanding of driven phase transitions in complex condensed matter.
We present here an overview of Coherent X-ray Diffraction Imaging (CXDI) with its application to nanostructures. This imaging approach has become especially important recently due to advent of X-ray Free-Electron Lasers (XFEL) and its applications to
the fast developing technique of serial X-ray crystallography. We start with the basic description of coherent scattering on the finite size crystals. The difference between conventional crystallography applied to large samples and coherent scattering on the finite size samples is outlined. The formalism of coherent scattering from a finite size crystal with a strain field is considered. Partially coherent illumination of a crystalline sample is developed. Recent experimental examples demonstrating applications of CXDI to the study of crystalline structures on the nanoscale, including experiments at FELs, are also presented.
Focused ion beam (FIB) techniques are commonly used to machine, analyse and image materials at the micro- and nanoscale. However, FIB modifies the integrity of the sample by creating defects that cause lattice distortions. Methods have been developed
to reduce FIB-induced strain, however these protocols need to be evaluated for their effectiveness. Here we use non-destructive Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging to study the in situ annealing of FIB-milled gold microcrystals. We simultaneously measure two non-collinear reflections for two different crystals during a single annealing cycle, demonstrating the ability to reliably track the location of multiple Bragg peaks during thermal annealing. The thermal lattice expansion of each crystal is used to calculate the local temperature. This is compared to thermocouple readings, which are shown to be substantially affected by thermal resistance. To evaluate the annealing process, we analyse each reflection by considering facet area evolution, cross-correlation maps of displacement field and binarised morphology, and average strain plots. The crystals strain and morphology evolve with increasing temperature, which is likely to be caused by the diffusion of gallium in gold below ~280{deg}C and the self-diffusion of gold above ~280{deg}C. The majority of FIB-induced strains are removed by 380-410degree C, depending on which reflection is being considered. Our observations highlight the importance of measuring multiple reflections to unambiguously interpret material behaviour.
