Work on EXAFS then progressed very little until the advent of the synchrotron radiation source (storage ring), described in Section 8.1.1.1. This type of source produces X-ray radiation of the order of 10 to 10 times as intense as that of a conventional source and is continuously tunable. These properties led to the establishment of EXAFS as an important structural tool for solid materials. 

Figure 2. Synchrotron X-ray source (schematic). The electrons execute circular motions in the storage ring and emit intense X-rays along the tangent of the orbit. This radiation is enhanced by undulator magnets that are often placed inside the vacuum vessel for enhanced performance. The storage ring has a number of straight sections for undulators and wigglers (not shown).

Small angle X-ray scattering measurements were performed using the synchrotron radiation of the DCI storage ring at LURE (Universite d Orsay,... 

No single development has influenced the field of EXAFS spectroscopy more than the development of synchrotron radiation sources, particularly those based on electron (or positron) storage rings. These provide a continuum of photon energies at intensities that can be from 103 to 106 higher than those obtained with X-ray tubes,... 

To test the feasibility of obtaining submicron size patterns in the resist films, an exposure source was used which consisted of the X-ray continuous spectrum produced by synchrotron radiation from the 5 0 MeV storage ring of the University of Orsay (ACO) since synchrotron radiation had been shown previously (2.,8.) to be a suitable source for providing very high resolution due to the small divergence of the beam. The maximum output flux of ACO...

The traditional operation mode of synchrotron light sources is a discontinuous one particles are injected in the storage ring, the beam current is decaying exponentially, and after several hours the synchrotron radiation run is stopped for a new injection. 

If the synchrotron is operated in discontinuous mode, the storage ring will be refilled two or three times every day. The interval between two consecutive refills is called a synchrotron radiation run. The parasitic scattering (machine background) should at least be recorded once within each synchrotron radiation run. You might consider... 

Alternative sources of primary X-rays now include synchrotron radiation (Pollard et al., 2007 290). The synchrotron is a large electron accelerator which produces electromagnetic radiation across the entire spectrum, with high spectral purity and very high beam intensity. At specific stations around the storage ring, particular sections of the electromagnetic spectrum are selected... 

Figure 12.8 Schematic plan of a synchrotron. The storage ring at Daresbury is 96 m in diameter, and contains a 250 mA current of 2 GeV electrons. Synchrotron radiation is emitted as a result of acceleration of the beam at each of the 16 magnets, and is tapped off and fed to a number of experimental stations, each of which is equipped to carry out a particular set of experiments.

Since the electrons in storage rings are travelhng at relativistic speeds, the emission of electromagnetie radiation is foreshortened into a cone whose axis is tlie instantaneous direetion of motion of the eleetron. The radiation is therefore intrinsically collimated and is a good mateh to the subsequent beam conditioner. This contrasts favourably with a laboratory somce, in which very little of the more-or-less isotropie emission reaehes the speeimen. The principal characteristics of synchrotron radiation are ...
