Synchrotron Radiation Needs for Molecular Environmental Science

Molecular Environmental Science Using Synchrotron Radiation:

Synchrotron radiation techniques in materials and environmental science.

Synchrotron-based techniques have had, over the last 30 years, a major and profound effect on the study of complex materials and on environmental science. Their ability to obtain accurate information at the atomic and molecular level on both local and longrange structures, together with the increasing ability to undertake time-resolved structural studies, has transformed our understanding of se...

Future Metrology Needs for Synchrotron Radiation Mirrors

An international workshop on metrology for X-ray and neutron optics, the first of its kind, was held March 16-17, 2000, at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. Engineers and scientists from around the world met to evaluate current metrology instrumentation and methods used to characterize the surface figure and finish of long, grazing-incidence optics used in synchrotron r...

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...
