Simulation of vanadium and manganese x-ray window membrane microstructures

Abstract

This submission epicentres on the unravellings from the simulation of vanadium (V) and mangansese (Mn) membrane structures of a rotating X-Ray window; V showed more promises as a prospectve X-Ray window membrane compared to Mn owing to its prefered optical and thermal properties. Conveyed thermal energy resulted to deformation in the microstructure of these membrane materials; thermal stress and temperature distributions on both materials are presented. Employing Rayleigh’s criterion, spatial resolution of 1μm≥ 𝜍≥600𝑛𝑚 is achievable; details of images of these Nano-probed microstructures may be viewed with X-Ray microscopes
