Abstract

Propagation based X-ray phase contrast imaging (PCI) offers unique opportunities for ultrafast, high-resolution measurements to examine dynamic materials response at extreme conditions. Within the past decade, efforts on the IMPULSE system at the Advanced Photon Source included the development of a novel Multi-frame X-ray PCI (MPCI) system that was used to obtain the first shock-movies to examine material deformation with micron spatial resolution on nanosecond timescale. The MPCI system has been systematically developed over the years to improve optical efficiencies, spatial resolution, obtain more images per experiment, and to develop a dual-imaging, dual-zoom feature useful for many applications. With the MPCI system, X-ray PCI has been successfully used to study a wide range of phenomena including jet-formation in metals, crack nucleation and propagation, response of additively manufactured materials, and detonator dynamics to name a few. In this paper, a brief overview of the MPCI system development is provided along with its application to study shock propagation in materials.
