X-Rays in nanoscience

This monograph surveys how X-ray techniques are applied across nanoscience and nanotechnology. It covers imaging of nanomaterials and the use of X-rays to examine the electronic structure of nanostructured materials, which in turn reveals their properties.

The chapters address three families of method: scattering, spectroscopy, and microscopy-based imaging. Each is explained along with its practical uses. The authors work at a major research facility where these tools are developed and used daily, and the book gathers their approaches into one organized reference. It is intended for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and established scientists.
