Nanosecond x-ray diffraction from polycrystalline and amorphous materials in a pinhole camera geometry suitable for laser shock compression experiments.

Nanosecond pulses of quasimonochromatic x-rays emitted from the K shell of ions within a laser-produced plasma are of sufficient spectral brightness to allow single-shot recording of powder diffraction patterns from thin foils of order millimeter diameter. Strong diffraction signals have been observ...
