TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a method for achieving zero intrinsic stress in thin films of iridium, chromium, and nickel deposited by magnetron sputter deposition and found that the critical pressure scales linearly with the film density.

TL;DR: The High-Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P) as discussed by the authors is a probe-class next-generation high-energy Xray mission concept that will vastly extend the reach of broadband Xray observations.

TL;DR: In this article, a depth-graded, multilayer-coated mirror was developed for astrophysical hard X-ray focusing telescopes. Butler et al. discuss the primary technical challenges associated with the multi-layer coatings, and report on progress to date.

TL;DR: In this paper, a water-window condenser arrangement for transmission x-ray microscopy based on table-top sources was demonstrated, and the maximum normal-incidence reflectivity at the desired wavelength, (lambda) equals 3.37 nm, was determined to be up to 3 percent.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of multilayer structures with d-spaces ranging from 1.2nm to 3.5nm has been compared with TIAP crystal performance in analysis of Si-Kα (1.74keV), Al-kα ( 1.5kV), Mg-Kβα (mg-kββα), and Na-K βα (n.04kV) radiation lines.
