| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this project is to improve the sensitivity of X-ray grating interferometry by the improvement of the gratings used in the interferometry and the development of novel optical systems. The improvement of the gratings was realized by the development of metallic glass imprinting technique, and 9 μm-pitch Gd-based and 3-μm pitch Pt-based metallic glass gratings were successfully fabricated. In addition, we developed two novel optical systems: X-ray phase elastography and grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering imaging. For the former, we clarified the theoretical background of the effect of unresolvable edges on the images obtained in the interferometry and performed a preliminary experiment at SPring-8. For the latter, we performed experiments of grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering imaging at SPring-8 and successfully obtained contrast due to a line and space pattern with a depth of 10 nm, which is difficult to be resolved in a conventional setup.
