This book presents reviews of various aspects of radiation/matter interactions, be these instrumental developments, the application of the study of the interaction of X-rays and materials to a particular scientific field, or specific methodological approaches.The overall aim of the book is to provide reference summaries for a range of specific subject areas within a pedagogical framework. Each chapter is written by an author who is well known within their field and...

This book addresses the possibilities provided by scattering techniques in the study of soft matter. It fills the gap between the fundamental scattering processes, which are described by the general theoretical framework of elastic and quasi-elastic interaction of radiation with matter, and state-of-the-art applications to specific soft matter systems. Three probes are discussed in detail: neutrons, X-ray photons, and visible light. The first part of the book is dedicated to the use of gen...

This book gives a comprehensive account of modern x-ray science, based on the use of synchrotron radiation and x-ray-free electron lasers (XFELs). It emphasizes the new capabilities of XFELs which extend the study of matter to the intrinsic timescales associated with the motion of atoms and chemical transformations and give birth to the new field of non-linear x-ray science. Starting with the historical understanding of the puzzling nature of light, it covers the modern description of the ...

This textbook provides an elementary yet systematic introduction to x-ray, neutron, and electron scattering for the structural analysis of condensed matter materials. These three methods are treated on the same footing by the same mathematical formalism and in a simplified fashion.Neutron scattering is an entirely quantum mechanical process. However, the way neutron scattering is described here does not require any mastery of quantum mechanics. The emphasis is more on the similarit...

With this fully updated second edition, readers will gain a detailed understanding of the physics and applications of modern X-ray and EUV radiation sources. Taking into account the most recent improvements in capabilities, coverage is expanded to include new chapters on free electron lasers (FELs), laser high harmonic generation (HHG), X-ray and EUV optics, and nanoscale imaging; a completely revised chapter on spatial and temporal coherence; and extensive discussion of the generation and...

Volume I of the second edition, subtitled Semi-Classical Concepts, presents x-ray science through the semi-classical framework of light and matter.The opening chapter, Introduction and Overview, remains largely unchanged from the first edition. It sets the stage for both volumes of the new edition by reviewing the revolutionary advances in x-ray science driven by synchrotron radiation sources and x-ray free-electron lasers. The following chapters are organized int...

Volume II of the second edition, subtitled Beyond Semi-Classical Concepts, expands the description of x-rays into the framework of quantum optics, rooted in the full theory of light and matter: quantum electrodynamics (QED). Following a brief introduction, the book is organized into three parts and an appendix.Part I explores the description of x-rays and diffraction phenomena within the advanced formalism of quantum optics. The discussion extends conventional quantum mech...

An up-to-date overview of the different x-ray based methods in the hot fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology, including methods for imaging nanomaterials, as well as for probing the electronic structure of nanostructured materials in order to investigate their different properties. Written by authors at one of the world's top facilities working with these methods, this monograph presents and discusses techniques and applications in the fields of x-ray scattering, spectroscopy and micros...

This survey, titled "High-Energy Electromagnetic Radiation: A Survey for X-rays, Gamma-rays, and Detection Methods & Artificial Intelligence," provides a brief review of the physics, detection technologies, and emerging role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of high-energy electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Focusing on their physics, interaction with matter, and primary detection technologies. The survey covers three key detector types: 1. Scintillation Detectors (convert energy to...

Have you ever had an x-ray? X-rays are like photographs of your bones. They show what is inside your body. X-rays show if your bones are broken. Animals can have x-rays of their bodies too.
