Description

The ultra-bright femtosecond X-ray pulses provided by X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) open up opportunities to study the structure and dynamics of a wide variety of systems beyond what is possible with synchrotron sources. This book introduces the principles and properties of currently operating and future XFELs, before outlining applications in materials science, chemistry and biology. Edited by pioneers in this exciting field, and featuring contributions from leading researchers, this book is ideal for researchers working with XFELs, synchrotron radiation, ultrafast and femtosecond crystallography and femtosecond spectroscopy Content: Review of X-ray Sources and Application in Energy Sciences X-ray Laser Studies of Natural Photosynthesis Ultrafast X-ray Laser Studies of Electron Excited States X-ray Spectroscopy of Water and Absorbed Water on Metals Electronic Dynamics in Photovoltaic Systems Two-colour X-ray Studies in Energy Sciences Electronic Structural Dynamics in Photochemical Processes Material Structure and Motion Studies in Solar Energy Conversion X-ray Studies of Charge Transfer and Excited Electronic Structure in Artificial Photosynthesis.
