Polarization Pendellösung and the Generation of Circularly Polarized X Rays with a Quarter-Wave Plate. Physical Review Letters 57, no. 2: 202-206. doi:10.1103/physrevlett.57.202.0031-9007http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:29407040A continuously tunable x-ray compensator that works in conjunction with synchrotron-radiation sources has been developed. The phenomena of polarization Pendellösung has been observed during its normal operation and the generation of circularly polarized x rays is verified through an observation of the magnetic Compton effect.en-USJournal Article2016-11-1810.1103/PhysRevLett.57.202
