In this work, a novel x-ray transmission window based on graphenic carbon was developed with superior performance compared to beryllium transmission windows that are currently used in the field. Compared to beryllium, the novel x-ray transmission window exhibits an improved x-ray transmission in the low energy region below 2 keV, while demonstrating excellent mechanical and chemical stability, as well as light and vacuum tightness. The graphenic carbon material, deposited by a developed chemical vapor deposition process can therefore replace the toxic beryllium window material.
