The diamond–silicon carbide composite Skeleton® as a promising material for substrates of intense X-ray beam optics
A new material for substrates of optical elements used under ultra-powerful X-ray beams is described – the diamond-silicon carbide composite Skeleton®. The composition and structure of the material, its surface roughness with a technological coating of polycrystalline silicon and its thermophysical characteristics are studied.

X-ray waveguide optics at GINIX/P10 PETRA III: recent progress and future directions
X-ray waveguide optics enable spatial and coherence filtering of a nano-focused synchrotron beam and provide tailored illumination wavefronts for holographic imaging. Progress in fabrication, characterization and advanced waveguide interferometers can enhance holographic imaging.

Temporal pulse shaping aspects of refractive X-ray lenses
This work investigates the temporal effects of refractive X-ray lenses on ultra-short pulses from X-ray free-electron lasers. Using both a full Fresnel theory model and a simplified ray-tracing approach, the paper analyzes the pulse elongation and spatio-temporal distortions introduced by these focusing optics.
