X-ray fluorescence holography

In this article, we will explore the impact of X-ray fluorescence holography on different aspects of contemporary society. From its influence on the economy to its relevance in the field of health, X-ray fluorescence holography has played a fundamental role in shaping our world today. Through a comprehensive analysis, we will examine how X-ray fluorescence holography has shaped our perceptions, behaviors and decisions, as well as its future projection. With this comprehensive approach, we aim to shed light on the complexity and scope of X-ray fluorescence holography, giving voice to diverse perspectives and enriching the debate around this topic of global resonance.

X-ray fluorescence holography (XFH) is a holography method with atomic resolution based on atomic fluorescence.[1] It is a relatively new technique that benefits greatly from the coherent high-power X-rays available from synchrotron sources, such as the Japanese SPring-8 facility.

Imaging

Fluorescent X-rays are scattered by atoms in a sample and provide the object wave, which is referenced to non-scattered X-rays. A holographic pattern is recorded by scanning a detector around the sample, which allows researchers to investigate the local 3D structure around a specific element in a sample.[2][3]

Applications

It is useful for investigating the effects of irradiation on high temperature superconductors.[citation needed]

Twin picture

One of the criticisms for this method is that it suffers from twin images. D. Gabor. Barton proposed that reconstructed phased images of holograms will suppress twin images effects.[4]
