Abstract
The feasibility of efficient focusing of high-power pulsed X-ray radiation generated by explosive electron emission from carbon nanoclusters is shown by direct experiments with the use of polycapillary X-ray optics. It is shown that the X-ray spot in the focus of the polycapillary lens can be reduced to 1/20 of its initial size.
