Willmott Ph. An Introduction to Synchrotron Radiation: Techniques and Applications

John Wiley & Sons Ltd, Chichester, UK, 2011, 352 pagesThis book introduces the reader to the basic concepts of the generation and manipulation of synchrotron light, its interaction with matter, and the application of synchrotron light in the classical techniques, while including some of the most modern technological developments. As much as possible, complicated mathematical derivations and formulas are avoided. A more heuristic approach is adopted, whereby the general physical reasoning behind the equations is highlighted.Key featuresA general introduction to synchrotron radiation and experimental techniques using synchrotron radiation
