Abstract

The advent of extremely bright x-ray beams from new low-emittance sources such as ESRF and APS offers new opportunities for materials research. One of the most exciting and technologically demanding areas is likely to be time-resolved x-ray studies. Our recent experiments at NSLS Brookhaven (Beamline X-16B) explore some of the challenges for time-resolved x-ray scattering combining developments in x-ray optics (dispersive geometry) area detectors (CCD''s) and fast data acquisition. The techniques are illustrated with results on the rapid thermal annealing of electronic materials including strained-layer InGai_As quantum-well structures. We describe the application of a new virtual-phase CCD detector for real-time diffraction studies at the microsecond time scale. 1.
