Download or read book Synchrotron Radiation written by D. P. Woodruff and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first part of the book is concerned with synchrotron radiation itself, the nature of the sources (including insertion devices - wigglers and undulators), a comparison with free electron lasers, and the instrumentation required to deliver radiation to a sample. This is then followed by a series of chapters describing the various experimental techniques that exploit synchrotron radiation, the utility of these methods being illustrated by specific examples. A range of methods to determine the structure of materials on an atomic scale including both those specific to crystalline materials but also those applicable to non-crystalline material. Methods to explore of the electronic structure of materials are described, including photoemission, photoabsorption, X-ray emission and inelastic X-ray scattering, also discussed in the context of vibrational structure determination. Finally, the application of synchrotron radiation to imaging is described on a microscopic and nanoscopic scale. In all aspects the book focuses on the physical processes that underly the sources and the exploitation techniques"--
