  • RAYS in SYNCHROTRON BEAM LINES a Thesis Submitted for Th
    APPLICATION OF PRECISION ENGINEERING FOR NANOMETRE FOCUSSING OF HARD X- RAYS IN SYNCHROTRON BEAM LINES A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy by Stewart Mark Scott Department of Advanced Manufacturing and Enterprise Engineering Brunel University November 2011 Corrections Corrections Issue No Date 1st Draft 8 September 2011 2nd Draft 31 October 2011 Issued for examination 29 November 2011 Viva comments incorporated 7 February 2012 ii Abstract Abstract Many modern synchrotron beamlines are able to focus X-rays to a few microns in size. Although the technology to achieve this is well established, performing routine experiments with such beams is still time consuming and requires careful set up. Furthermore there is a need to be able to carry out experiments using hard X-ray beams with even smaller beams of between 100nm and 10nm. There are focussing optics that are able to do this but integrating these optics into a stable and a usable experimental set up are challenging. Experiments can often take some hours and any change in position of the beam on the sample will adversely affect the quality of the results. Experiments will often require scanning of the beam across the sample and so mechanisms suitable for high resolution but stable scanning are required. Performing routine experiments with nanometre sized beams requires mechanical systems to be able to position the sample, focussing optics, detectors and diagnostics with significantly higher levels of stability and motion resolution than is required from so called micro focus beam lines. This dissertation critically reviews precision engineering and associated technologies that are relevant for building nano focus beamlines, and the following key issues are explored: Long term position stability due to thermal effects Short term position stability due to vibration Position motion with nanometre incremental motion Results of some tests are presented and recommendations given.

Mohan,2 R.K.Khandal1* 1 Shriram Institute for Industrial Research, 19, University Road, Delhi-110007, India, Fax: 91-011-27667676. Email: [email protected] 2 Basic School of Applied Science, Guru Gobind Singh University. (Received: 14 September, 2006; published: 2 November, 2007) Abstract: Optical plastics have been the priority area of research for material scientists worldwide, mainly, to find alternative materials to glass, a conceptual optical material in use over the years. There are numerous advantages of using plastics for optical applications, in particular for ophthalmic applications over glass. Recently, the researchers have been putting their efforts to develop novel plastic materials to meet requirements of ophthalmic industries. The present review compiles the recent developments in the area of optical plastics. The aim is to present the current state-of-the-art in the field, besides analyzing the various aspects of developing optical plastics. The review presents various possible approaches to achieve the desired properties e.g. high refractive index of the optical plastic materials. Introduction Amongst several optical properties, refractive index is one of the most important criteria for selection of materials suitable for application in optics. Conventionally, glass has been the most common material for making various types of optical instruments. Even for ophthalmic applications such as eyesight correction, glass has been in use over the years. Glass, being an inorganic, non-crystalline and brittle material is prone to scratches, which is not desirable for ophthalmic applications [1].

Important information about access to shareholder reports Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of your fund’s annual and semiannual shareholder reports will no longer be sent to you by mail, unless you specifically request them. Instead, you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted on the website and will be provided with a link to access the report. If you have already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and do not need to take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the fund electronically by contacting your financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank) or, if you invest directly with the fund, by calling Vanguard at one of the phone numbers on the back cover of this report or by logging on to vanguard.com. You may elect to receive paper copies of all future shareholder reports free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact the intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies. If you invest directly with the fund, you can call Vanguard at one of the phone numbers on the back cover of this report or log on to vanguard.com. Your election to receive paper copies will apply to all the funds you hold through an intermediary or directly with Vanguard.
