Title: Robert E. Flannery and Cryogenic X-Ray Topography
Introduction
Robert E. Flannery is an inventor associated with Alexandria, Virginia. His work includes an invention for conducting X-ray topography of crystals at cryogenic temperatures.
Latest Patents
Flannery is credited with 1 patent, titled “Apparatus and Method of X-Ray Topography at Cryogenic Temperature.” The method enables crystal topography at low temperatures without requiring continuous pumping of the sample chamber. By avoiding continuous pumping, it addresses vibrations that can degrade high-resolution photographic images and helps prevent the sample from losing angular alignment with the X-ray beam because of torque from a vacuum-coupling mechanism.
Career Highlights
The patent lists the U.S. Government, as represented by the Secretary of the Army, as the assignee. The invention highlights Flannery’s contribution to techniques for imaging crystals under cryogenic conditions.
Collaborations
Flannery’s coworker on the invention was Paul LoVecchio.
Conclusion
Robert E. Flannery’s patent presents a method designed to improve the stability and alignment of cryogenic X-ray topography, supporting clearer high-resolution imaging of crystals.
