Overview

High-resolution x-ray diffraction and scattering is a key tool for structure analysis not only in bulk materials but also at surfaces and buried interfaces from the sub-nanometer range to micrometers. This book offers an overview of diffraction and scattering methods currently available at modern synchrotron sources and illustrates bulk and interface investigations of solid and liquid matter with up-to-date research examples. It presents important characteristics of the sources, experimental set-up, and new detector developments. The book also considers future exploitation of x-ray free electron lasers for diffraction applications.

This book is a splendid collection of chapters by well-known experts in the field of synchrotron x-ray diffraction. It is refreshing to see a diffraction-only version of x-ray physics because there are many more books available on x-ray spectroscopy. The chapters correspond almost exactly to a complete list of beamlines at one of our present-day facilities, so I recommend it wholeheartedly to students embarking on research at one of the world's synchrotron laboratories. -Prof. Ian Robinson, University College London, UK Synchrotron sources and synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques have undergone explosive growth in the last decade. It is therefore very timely to have this new collection of up-to-date reviews of the various types of x-ray scattering experiments being carried out at synchrotron facilities by experts in the field. -Prof. Sunil K. Sinha, University of California San Diego, USA This book is an ideal textbook for graduate and undergraduate students in order to learn the state-of-the-art techniques from simple diffraction experiments to short-pulse free electron laser applications. I will certainly use this book for my lectures on x-ray physics. -Prof. Metin Tolan, Technische Universitaet Dortmund, Germany
