Article Abstract
We have developed a new process for the production of ultra-precise variable line spacing (VLS) lamellar diffraction gratings through nanofabrication. The process enables the fabrication of full-size X-ray gratings with sub-nanometre accuracy in groove depth, an optimal land-to-groove ratio, and uniform groove depth across the entire grating area. We also established a method for evaluating VLS groove density variation using stitched Fizeau interferometry. The measurements confirmed the exceptionally high accuracy of the VLS groove density in the fabricated gratings, which is well within the specification tolerances while the residual groove density errors are vanishingly small. The gold-coated grating demonstrated near-theoretical diffraction efficiency across the energy range of 100-1200 eV.

The burgeoning Internet of Things demands highly customizable microbatteries (MBs) to power miniaturized electronics, yet challenges exist in fabricating ultra-small MBs and integrating customizable modules within confined areas. Herein, we report a novel photolithographic microfabrication strategy enabling the large-scale production of monolithic integrated ultra-small MBs. The approach utilizes photoresist grooves as micropattern templates and employs a non-destructive mechanical peeling process to fabricate precise MBs with a compact area of 2.

Although cemented carbides have been manufactured by the powder metallurgy (P/M) technology for over a century now, systematic developmental efforts are still underway. In the present study, tool life improvements in metal grooving applications are the key objective. Four PVD-coated cemented carbides compositions, dedicated to groove steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminium alloys, have been newly designed, along with their manufacturing conditions.

To narrow the output linewidths of external-cavity semiconductor lasers further, a metal-dielectric GIG with high diffraction efficiency and high groove density was designed and fabricated. The grating was optimized using a combination of the Fourier modal method and the particle swarm optimization algorithm.
