Diagnostics of nanodisperse polycrystals based on the polarization bremsstrahlung of relativistic electrons

Abstract

The spectra of polarization bremsstrahlung are measured in the backscattering geometry during the interaction of 7 MeV electrons with a polycrystalline Ni foil. Measurement is conducted under condi tions such that the size of the region of coherent Xray radiation scattering in a target is on the order of 10 nm. The obtained results make it possible to suggest that using polarization bremsstrahlung as a new method for the diagnostics of the atomic structures of nanodisperse polycrystals is effective
