About the course
The course prepares you for use of modern synchrotron radiation sources and free-electron lasers. It comprises the theoretical basis for electromagnetic radiation from relativistic electrons, radiation from bend magnets and insertion devices, and the properties of the radiation in terms of energy distribution, brilliance, polarization, time structure and coherence. Applications in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and nanoscience will be covered, especially concerning methods for studying electronic and magnetic structure; X-ray absorption, magnetic X-ray dichroism, electron spectroscopy and inelastic X-ray scattering, structural methods; crystallography SAXS/WAXS (small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering), and imaging methods; X-ray microscopy and X-ray tomography.
An overview of the latest development in synchrotron-radiation techniques will be given, e.g. concerning extremely intense ultrashort X-ray pulses, and new coincidence techniques.
