    摘要: A crystal monochromator is manufactured by heating a crystal having an original thickness to a temperature of over about 850° C. The crystal is compressed for a duration of approximately 1-5 minutes with a force of about 5-10 metric tons while the crystal is maintained at the temperature of over about 850° C. to plastically deform the crystal along an axis, wherein the compressing causes a plastic deformation of about 0.5%-1.5% of the original thickness. The crystal may be sliced to form crystal monochromators having a mosaicity of between about 15-28 arcminutes and a slow neutron reflectivity of over 70% at a rocking curve peak.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a grating and a radiation imaging device. The grating comprises a plurality of stacked grating elements. The grating elements are stacked to form a grid. The grating element comprises a first sheet and a second sheet having two parallel planes. The second sheet is stacked at the first sheet in a length direction of the first sheet. The first sheet is almost impervious to radiation. The present disclosure stacks the sheets having different specifications together to form the grating with uniform grating slits, such that there is no limitation on the thickness of the grating and the grating can be used along with high-energy radiations.
