Synchrotron Radiation

Abstract

Today there are a number of third-generation synchrotron facilities around the world, which are dedicated to the production of extremely intense radiation, ranging from infrared to hard X-rays. The wavelength tunability and the very high brightness of these sources have opened a wide range of new characterization procedures for research purposes. This paragraph is intended to describe various facets of both technological and analytical methods using synchrotron radiation, in order to help researchers and students who are interested in the study of materials. First, a concise introduction to synchrotron facilities and an overview of the main characteristics of the existing third-generation sources are presented. Then a basic line-up of beamlines for different energy ranges as well as the problems associated to beamline constructions and choices are described. Finally, for each energy range, a brief description of some techniques available in third-generation synchrotron facilities is given.
