Book cover X-ray Nanochemistry

Part of the book series: Nanostructure Science and Technology ((NST))

Abstract

Techniques and Instruments used in the measurements of enhancement of X-ray effects by nanomaterials are described in this chapter. These measurements usually involve chemical and biological reactions because direct measurements of the yield of electrons in solutions using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are not yet available. These reactions are discussed in Chapters 2 to 5 as well as in Chapters 8 to 11, and will only be cursorily discussed here.

The boundary condition determines the solution of second order differential equations - or as we commonly say: beauty is in the eye of beholder
