Soft x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy using tunable synchrotron radiation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:61760
The third generation synchrotron radiation sources open up new interesting possibilities for soft x-ray emission spectroscopy (SXES) for the study of various problems in materials science and atomic and molecular physics. High brightness of the excitation source is a prerequisite for pursuing SXES, since the overall yields are very small owing to both low fluorescence yields and low efficiencies of high resolution soft x-ray detectors. However, the very brightness offered by the third generation synchrotron radiation sources even allows the exciting beam to be sharply monochromatised, a condition which very much increases the information potential of this spectroscopic technique.
