It sets the stage for both volumes of the new edition by reviewing the revolutionary advances in x-ray science driven by synchrotron radiation sources and x-ray free-electron lasers. The following chapters are organized into two parts. \n                \n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003ePart I establishes the equivalence between wave-based and conventional quantum descriptions of light, which form the foundation of the semi-classical approach. It also discusses the generation of synchrotron and XFEL radiation, now extended to recent accelerator breakthroughs that enable the creation of diffraction- and transform-limited x-ray pulses reaching into the attosecond regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003ePart II applies the semi-classical treatment to describe how x-rays interact with matter, whether through an individual atomic or collective dielectric response. Topics include x-ray absorption, dichroism, emission, scattering, and diffraction, extensively illustrated with experimental results. Special emphasis is placed on polarization-dependent, resonant responses—key to the unique atomic and chemical specificity of x-rays and their ability to probe the charge and spin structure of matter. The final chapter explores real-space and diffractive imaging techniques, with a focus on solving the phase problem through holography, over-sampling, ptychography, and multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eAn appendix provides reference material, including physical symbols, SI units and values, resonant line shapes, the Dirac d-function, and a concise overview of Fourier transform methods and Parseval’s theorem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783032076298\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSemi-Classical Concepts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783032076298","offer_id":55504973005125,"sku":"9783032076298","price":192.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/feb566e9-754a-4fde-8f90-e744191c0c81.jpg?v=1781152954","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-nature-of-x-rays-and-their-interactions-with-matter-volume-i-von-joachim-stohr","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
