Title: Ken'ichi Kimijima and Advances in X-Ray Analysis

Introduction

Ken'ichi Kimijima is an inventor associated with Tsukuba, Japan, and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization. His work includes an invention designed to enable complementary X-ray measurements of a sample at the same location.

Latest Patents

Kimijima is credited with 1 patent: “Cell for X-ray Analysis and X-Ray Analysis Apparatus.” The invention describes a cell that enables simultaneous X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption fine structure measurements within the same field of view on a sample.

The cell includes a furnace that holds and heats the sample with a focused heater, windows for incoming and outgoing X-rays, and a holder that positions the sample. Its arrangement allows X-ray diffraction measurements outside the second window while X-ray absorption fine structure measurements are made through a third window. This design supports simultaneous analysis of the same sample position.

Career Highlights

Kimijima’s listed patent reflects work on instrumentation for X-ray analysis. By combining two measurement techniques in one setup, the invention is intended to provide complementary information about a material under study.

Collaborations
