Infrared Science with Synchrotron Radiation

Synchrotron radiation is best known as a source of X-rays, but it is also a source for VUV to soft-Xrays photons. However, it was realised in the early 90’s that this source can also be exploited in the infrared energy domain. Even if in some frequency regions (roughly 30 microns and below) the total photon flux emitted by the synchrotron source remains inferior to that of a thermal source, the...

Nuclear Resonant Surface Diffraction of Synchrotron Radiation.

Nuclear resonant x-ray diffraction in grazing incidence geometry is used to determine the lateral magnetic configuration in a one-dimensional lattice of ferromagnetic nanostripes. During magnetic reversal, strong nuclear superstructure diffraction peaks appear in addition to the electronic ones due to an antiferromagnetic order in the nanostripe lattice. We show that the analysis of the angular...

Materials Analysis Using Synchrotron Radiation

Synchrotron radiation (SR) is a tunable, highly oriented, intense X-ray. Its tunability has led to XAFS being used as a common analytical tool, and is particularly useful for examining local structures. In fact, its use is indispensable to the examination of not only amorphous materials or solutions but also multicomponent systems. Thanks to the high intensity of SR, it is possible to determine...
