Synchrotron radiation spectroscopies as a tool for the study of matter

by Prof. Maria Katsikini (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki)

Tuesday 10 May 2022, 16:00 → 17:00 Europe/Athens

Synchrotron radiation (SR) is emitted from light charged particles (usually electrons) which move in closed orbits with relativistic velocities. SR is emitted over a broad energy range, from the infrared to the hard X-rays, and possesses a number of properties which are unique for the study of both soft and hard matter. Initially, a brief description of Synchrotron Radiation and its properties will be provided. Next, spectroscopic characterization techniques, mainly X-ray absorption and fluorescence, will be described. Finally, the application of the above characterization techniques in various types of matter will be discussed.
