Quantifying grating defects in X-ray Talbot-Lau interferometry through a comparative study of two fabrication techniques

Abstract The performance of an X-ray grating interferometry system depends on the geometry and quality of the gratings. Fabrication of micrometer-pitch high-aspect-ratio gold gratings, which are essential for measuring small refraction angles at higher energies, is challenging. The two widely used t...
