Abstract
A new type of a high-brilliance X-ray source known as the Thomson X-ray laser-electron generator (TXG) opens new possibilities for materials characterization by X-ray diffraction methods such as high resolution X-ray diffractometry and topography and diffraction analysis at extreme conditions in shear diamond anvil cells. The advantages of the TXG compared to X-ray laboratory sources are a high flux, a quasi-monochromatic, nearly parallel beam and a tunable wavelength. The paper presents examples of applications as well as estimations of typical photon flux and exposure time saving advantages resulted from an implementation of TXG radiation in a home laboratory.
