František Procháska, Ph.D. Co-investigators from IPP R. DoleÄŤek, P. Pintr, V. Karabyn, K. Majerová, R. Melich Aims of the project: Keeping the competitiveness on the global level is the goal. Therefore, gaining new knowledge via global research monitoring and company internal research are extremely important. The goal can be achieved only with RaD of new materials and special technologies critically important for next generation of X-ray instruments. The main objective of the project is to innovate the replication technology for the production of replicated X-ray optics, which will enable the development of two functional samples (exact replicated Wolter I X-ray and precise replicated X-ray optics from non-magnetic material) with world-class features - accuracy and non-magnetic the surface extending their use. Specifically, we have a shape accuracy of better than 100 nm (RMS) of 50 mm and a micronutrience better than 1 nm (RMS) over an area of ​​10x10 μm. The production of functional samples will be possible thanks to newly acquired knowledge in the field of X-ray technology, during the implementation of the present project. Technology innovation will enable: - the preparation of mandrels with higher parameters, thanks to the introduction of 4i CNC nanotechnologies into the production of X-ray optics using vacuum ionic surface treatment at the level of individual atoms - A new reflection system will be designed and experimentally tested to allow the use of new commercially desirable materials based on iridium and ruthenium, in addition to traditionally used materials (Au, Ni) - Wolter X-ray has been developed for many years for space applications / applications. As part of this project, RITE innovates replication technology for Wolter RTG optics for lab and synchrotron applications. The output of the project reaches the sixth innovation order according to Professor Valenty's methodology.
