| Description: |
X-ray ptychography is a robust microscopy technique with nanoscale resolution that requires a spatially and temporally coherent illumination. In a typical setup, the temporal coherence requirements are satisfied by monochromating the x-ray source, e.g., using a crystal monochromator. Recent studies have shown that energy resolving, or hyperspectral, detectors can to some extent replace the role of the monochromator to perform, e.g., edge-subtraction ptychographic imaging with broadband radiation in a single acquisition. Scaling this capability from two dimensions (2D) to three dimensions (3D), and from a single absorption edge to multiple edges, is critical for its applications in structural and elemental characterisation. The method is hitherto limited by the inherently lower maximum count rate of hyperspectral detectors and the chromaticity of the optics often used in x-ray ptychography experiments, namely Fresnel zone plates. In this work, we design an optimized broadband spectroscopic ptychography setup and use it to perform 3D hyperspectral imaging of particles of battery material containing various percentages of nickel, manganese, cobalt (NMC). We show that we can identify different compositions based on their spectral response. We discuss the results and provide guidelines for future exploitation of the method in laboratory settings. |
