Workshop on Diamonds for Modern Light Sources
May 5 and 6, 2011
Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory
Room 401/A1100
Scope
- Status of worldwide availability and single crystal quality of high-pressure-high temperature (HPHT), type IIa
- Status of chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) diamond quality
- Applications and needs for diamonds at beamlines for monochromators, phaseplates, beamsplitters, diamond anvil cells (DACs) for high pressure
- Applications and needs for diamonds for beam position monitors and x-ray detectors
- Applications and needs at free-electron-lasers (FELs)
- Novel applications, for example, for an x-ray-free-electron-oscillator(XFELO).
Goals
To define:
- The quantitative and qualitative needs of the 3rd and 4th generation X-ray sources in diamond samples (quantity, dimensions, necessary and tolerable crystal quality (defect structure), including surface quality, for different applications
- The status quo and the future trends in the development of the diamond growth technologies to produce crystals that meet the needs of the 3rd and 4th generation X-ray sources
- The contributions which may be provided by the X-ray sources and experimental techniques installed there, to characterize diamond samples to promote the improvement of the crystal growth technologies according to the needs of the 3rd and 4th generation X-ray sources
- Industrial possibilities and opportunities to satisfy the future needs for high quality synthetic diamond samples of different dimensions.
