The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) [PDF]

Results in Physics, 2016
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) expands observation space by simultaneously adding polarization to the array of X-ray source properties currently measured (energy, time, and location).

Decoding THz-Driven Dynamic Fingerprints of Ferroelectric Nanotwin Networks. [PDF]

Adv Mater
ABSTRACT Ultrafast polarization dynamics in ferroelectrics are of considerable interest for high‐speed tunable dielectrics and electro‐optics. Extended domain wall networks formed in ferroelectric twin nanodomains can support collective dynamics in the terahertz regime but require techniques that track polarization and strain evolution driven by ...

Tuning Circular Dichroism and Circularly Polarised Luminescence in Single Crystals of a Perylene Diimide Macrocycle. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
The circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarised (CPL) of a bis‐perylene diimide macrocycle are measured in single crystals. These chiroptical properties are tuned by the macrocycle's π–π stacking interactions in the solid‐state. Abstract Chiral materials that manipulate circularly polarised light have burgeoning applications across optoelectronics,

Synthesis, Structure, and Thin Film Optical Properties of a Chiral Benzothiazole-Derived Squaraine. [PDF]

Chemphyschem
Solution‐processed thin films can be sensitive to the choice of solvent and thermal annealing, which we explore for a chiral benzothiazole squaraine. We observe peculiarly shaped excitonic circular dichroism in uniaxially anisotropic thin films, in which the presumed Davydov bands are spatially distributed exclusively into in‐plane (UDC) and out‐of ...

An Overview of X-Ray Polarimetry of Astronomical Sources

Galaxies, 2018
We review the history of astronomical X-ray polarimetry based on the author’s perspective, beginning with early sounding-rocket experiments by Robert Novick at Columbia University and his team, of which the author was a member.

X-ray polarimetry and its application to strong-field quantum electrodynamics

High Power Laser Science and Engineering, 2023
Polarimetry is a highly sensitive method to quantify changes of the polarization state of light when passing through matter and is therefore widely applied in material science.

Ultra-high precision x-ray polarimetry with artificial diamond channel cuts at the beam divergence limit

Physical Review Research, 2020
We report on the use of synthetic single-crystal diamonds for high definition x-ray polarimetry. The diamonds are precision mounted to form artificial channel-cut crystals (ACCs). Each ACC supports four consecutive reflections with a scattering angle 2Θ_{
