Executive Summary

This doctoral thesis investigates soft X-ray (SXR) emission from a compact Mather-type dense plasma focus device (NIE-SSC-PFF) operated with neon, argon, and deuterium. A radiative plasma focus theoretical model was developed incorporating shock dynamics and radiative phases, which was confirmed through experiments employing pinhole imaging, transmission grating, flat crystal spectroscopy, filtered PIN diode arrays, and calorimetry, aimed at optimizing SXR sources for semiconductor proximity lithography.
