Two-dimensional lattice distortions in ion-implanted silicon crystals have been mapped out with spatial resolutions of 0.016 and 0.265 mum in the depth and lateral directions respectively using synchrotron X-ray diffractometry data. Intensity profiles along the crystal-truncation-rods associated with the fundamental 111 Bragg reflections and satellite reflections were measured and phase information was retrieved using the Petrashen-Chukhovskii algorithm for each reflection. Two equally plausible maps have been obtained by determining the relative phases of the satellite reflections with a sequential trial method and a local energy-minimum method.X-ray phase-contrast images of voids and glass fibers in a polymer matrix has been obtained using both a monolithic 3-reflection asymmetric channel-cut monochromator and analyzer with 1.54-* X-rays. The mechanism of contrast formation in the images of voids and glass fibers are discussed in detail and numerical simulations of the images are found to agree with the experiments.
