The technique allows for monitoring Bragg reflections and measuring X-ray growth oscillations with a time resolution of 1 min in a wide q-range in reciprocal space extending over 0.25-0.80 angstrom(-1), i.e. sampling a large number of Fourier components simultaneously. A quantitative analysis of growth oscillations at several q-points yields the evolution of the surface roughness, showing a marked transition from layer-by-layer growth to strong roughening after four monolayers of pentacene have been deposited.

Considering the exponentially decaying incident spectrum, and because no optical elements are installed except slits and vacuum windows, coherence experiments can be performed between 5 keV < E < 15 keV. First, the energy dependence of spatial coherence properties were determined measuring diffraction at single and double pinholes. Next, the coherent white radiation was used to probe the morphology of thin films in reflection geometry. The recorded intensity maps (reflectivity versus sample position) provide speckle patterns which reveal the locally varying sample morphology. Setting the incident angle, alpha(i), smaller or larger than the critical angle of total external reflection, alpha(c), one should be able to separate the surface height profile from the subsurface density modulation of a sample. The validity of this approach is verified at the example of reciprocal space maps taken from a polymer surface where we could reconstruct the lateral height profile from speckle data.

The interference pattern was studied using an energy-dispersive detector to simultaneously investigate in a large spectral range the diffraction properties of the white synchrotron radiation. For a highly absorbing pinhole mask the interference fringes from the classical Young's double-pinhole experiment were recorded and the degree of coherence of X-rays could be determined. In the case of low absorption of the metal foil at higher X-ray energies (> 15 keV) the interference pattern of a point diffraction interferometer was observed using the same set-up.

For cases where the charge of this cloud becomes distributed over three or four pixels the center position of photon impact can be reconstructed with a precision better than 2 mu m. The predicted charge cloud sizes are tested at selected X-ray fluorescence lines emitting energies between 6.4 keV and 17.4 keV and forming charge clouds with size (rms) varying between 8 mu m and 10 mu m respectively.
